I do not own Bleach.


Sakura spun her dream catchers as she got into a ready stance. "Get away from them."

Aizen chuckled as he began walking towards the girl. "I see that you have gotten stronger. Truly marvelous." He examined the girl's weapons. "So you have already achieved Bankai. Your growth rate rivals even Kurosaki Ichigo's."

Sakura stayed alert as Aizen walked closer to her. With his ever present smirk and relaxed posture. She doubted he even knew how to look scary, and that scared her most. "How do you know this is my Bankai? Maybe it isn't."

Aizen chuckled. "Do you truly think I have left you alone since you have left my care? Or that I haven't visited?" Sakura took a step back to try and keep distance between her and Aizen. "Poor sweet naive Sakura-chan. I have always been watching." He ducked under a swipe of the girl's dream catcher. "And I have also seen your progress. Your fight with Kenpachi was most impressive. I would have liked to see the end of it."

Sakura pulled her dream catcher back and attacked with them in her hands. Aizen easily danced away from her. "Why wait? You could have acted. You're obviously powerful enough. Why this game?"

Aizen chuckled lightly. "Game? This is no game my dear." He vanished from her sight, reappearing behind her. "This is all part of my plan."

Sakura spun around and launched a dream catcher, pulling it back when it missed. "What plan? So far all you have done is stood by and waited. What are you waiting for?!"

"Your brother." Aizen smirked as the girl froze. "You and your brother are the most rare souls in existence. With the two of you, no one could stand against me. And with just one of you, my Ascension to heaven is guaranteed." He calmly made his way towards the girl once more. "But, your mother was certainly an insightful woman. She sent you away to the human world, and out of my reach. But she made one fatal mistake. She underestimated me. The foolish woman."

"Don't talk about my mother like that!" Sakura lit both her dream catchers on fire. "Unmei-" Sakura's voice died on her lips. She watched as the dream catchers in her hands were torn to shreds. "Hosho no Yume?"

"Now to put everything on track." Aizen let out a breath as his slid his left hand into his pocket. He would need to have it looked out. The girl's zanpakutou had most likely burnt it down to the bone. He looked down as the girl stared at her destroyed Bankai in disbelief. "The mistake your mother made was leaving you with Kisuke Urahara. Originally he had just gone to the human world to check on the failed arrancars I had created. But then Ise-san went to him with the request. So he extended his stay in the living world. All to make sure you would never be discovered."

Sakura numbly reached for a bead that had once hung inside a dream catcher. It was cold and lifeless.

"His plan nearly worked. But then something happened, even I am not sure what happened. But that single event caused a small amount of your reiatsu to leak out. Which attracted hollows of larger and larger proportions. Which led to the Gotei 13 sending a Taichou to Karakura town." Aizen looked over at the Taichou of 13th squad. Ukitake Jushiro was breathing heavily as he tried to pull the sword, that was through his gut, out of the wall behind him. "Which led to your reiatsu adjusting to his. And thus bringing out more of your power. It only took my Espada a week to find you after that."

"And still you waited." Sakura looked up at the man that was the source of all the problems around her. "What do you want with my family?!"

"Funny. Your father asked the same thing." Aizen spotted the Soutaichou, it seemed he had stopped bleeding, but he also was not moving. "You both are unstoppable. Separate you are unmatched by any single entity, but together you become God. And even better, your raw reiatsu combined is capable of creating an object so great that it will allow me to ascend to god hood once more."

"The Hogyoku?" Sakura had read about the small purple marble. But never thought of how to create one. "Why would you want that? It lead to your downfall."

Aizen shrugged. "I lacked conviction. But now I shall not fail." He looked down at the pitiful girl. "You can not win, Sakura-chan. Your Bankai is broken, it is useless." He held his hand out to help the girl up. "Join me. You and your brother can live happily with each other-"

"As your personal soldiers?" Sakura glared at the man.

Aizen stood tall and let his hand fall to his side. "As my children."

Sakura looked back down at her shredded Bankai. She willed it to seal itself. With a bright light the broken Bankai reformed into a cracked sword. Sakura picked up the delicate blade as she stood up. "I would rather die."

Aizen laughed a bit, the girl was very much like her father. "That can be arranged. But first..." He vanished from the girl's sight again, reappearing behind her. "I need your power." He whispered into her ear before grabbing her by her collar and throwing her towards the dais in the center of the room.

Sakura managed to slow herself down, but she dropped her blade in the process. She got up shakily as Aizen approached her. A pulse of familiar reiatsu behind her drew her attention. "Sora?"

"Let's join him." Sakura turned as a fist collided with her stomach. Aizen easily picked the girl up and dragged her up the dais. On one end of the dais was the crib with Sora. On the other was a platform for Sakura. He dropped her onto the platform, pushing a button to lower a glass dome over it. "Your extra reiatsu will be most useful."

Sakura sat up slowly as a bright magenta light began to float around her. Slowly it flew up to join a large mass of lavender light. She turned he gaze back to Aizen. "You won't win."

Aizen chuckled. "Foolish. Just like your mother." He walked back over to the platform. "Don't you see? I have already won."

Sakura stood and glared at the man. "Not yet. You forget, Aizen, you're fighting a Singular." She pulled her reiatsu to her before flickering it out. Magenta flames danced across her skin as black mist condensed around her. "You can't even begin to comprehend my power." She laid a hand against the glass separating the two of them. "Or what I am capable of."
