I was following Captain Ichimaru to some place I've never been to before. "I know you don't want to see your friends fighting. But, I think I may have something in store for you that may prove more beneficial."
We came to a large building. It was Central 46, the Prime building of the soul society where any laws were made, evaluated, or questioned. They were made up of soul society bureaucrats and some from the nobility. When my father was still alive, he was also a part of Central 46, prior to becoming the predecessor to squad 5's captain.
"Captain Ichimaru... why are we at Central 46..?" Something was beginning to feel off to me, and I didn't know what it was. "Someone's wanting to see ya."
We walked into the main corridor of central 46, and I was overcome by the stench of death and the smell of blood. "They're.. all dead....."
Walking ahead, we came to finding Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto holding Lieutenant Momo Hinamori in her arms. She was barely alive. "Momo..."
On the other side, Captain Hitsugaya was laying, beginning to bleed out. Between them, there he stood. Sosuke Aizen, with arms stretched out with a beaming smile. "Well... the room just became more radiant and beautiful.."
My eyes went wide in shock and horror." The short brown hair, the brown eyes with the black rimmed glasses, the shikasho and the captains haiori. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought, no, we all had thought this man was dead.
"A-Aizen..."
He grinned. "Hisana, the precious, fiery, sexy.. Kusonarii maiden..."
"Why is Momo dead?! Why is Captain Hitsugaya bleeding?!"
He grimaced. "Momo was no longer needed. She is not important to me. As for Captain Hitsugaya, he was interfering with my plans..." He took a few steps forward and gently placed his hand under my chin, lifting my head up so that I was looking at him. "And.. Ichimaru here brought me my prize."
"No..don't tell me.."
"You.. don't you know what your purpose is? You're going to become my queen, Hisana. We will rule over the land. Especially once I become Soul King.. and I'll have you birth my children.."
My eyes went wide. "No... definitely no. That's not going to happen."
Aizen scoffed and laughed. "Why would you say that? You're right here, in my grasp. You have no way out, no way to fight."
"You have seemed to forgotten who I am, Sosuke." I slowly drew my zanpoktou.
"I am Hisana Kusonarii. The last remaining member of the Kusonarii Clan. I am Byakuya Kuchiki's fiancé... and most importantly.. I can fight!"
I took a step back and looked at Aizen directly in the face. "Rangiku, take Captain Hitsugaya and Momo out of here. I don't want you all to get affected by this battle in anyway."
"Right." She responded and left with Hitsugaya and Momo in her arms.
Aizen glanced in their direction. "Ichimaru, after them." He nodded and left after them.
"Hisana." Aizen glanced at me. "I don't want to fight you. I just want you to come with me peacefully. You really don't want to fight me."
"I'm not going to sit by while you're trying to hurt those I care about!"
"Really? They don't seem to care about you. Did they realize where you went when I killed your family and your mother used the last of her spirt energy to turn you into a human to protect you? No one turned an eye!"
"It's because my memories were erased. And they presumed I was dead. But you have a lot to talk about in regard to my family. You even raped my mother!"
Aizen grinned. His evilness was beginning to show.
"Oh her body was a lot like yours. So delectable.. so curvaceous.. but you.. oh.. you.. you're a goddess compared to that wench."
"How DARE you speak of her that way. My parents did a service to the soul society."
"Really? What was that? Getting murdered by my hand?"
I could feel the blood boiling within me. "They protected the royal family, in addition to aided other squads with hollow killings."

I drew in a breath. This wasn't ideal, nor was this what I had wanted to do today. However, I had no choice. I'm sure that in addition to this battle that is about to occur, that there will a lot more fights going on across the entire soul society.
"Spread your wings and fly, Akuma Tsubasa!"
Instantly, my zanpoktou changed to the form of a black scythe.
Aizen laughed. "Really? A scythe is your shikai? Weak. I can easily manipulate you with mine.."
"Don't look at his zanpoktou.. kyoka suigetsu can make you hallucinate and perceive and believe things that aren't really there or mere illusions." I heard a voice resonate from my mind. It was Akuma Tsubasa speaking to me.
"You will get through this, Hisana-Chan. We will. Together." A roar of spiritual pressure blasts through the room like an explosion. Aizen looked at me with rounded eyes. He couldn't understand where this change came from. "My my.. looks like someone is really feisty.."

Aizen disappears from my line of sight. "Shit!" I glanced around, wondering where he went off to. "He's going to appear behind me!" I swerved around and our zanpoktou clashed in that very moment. "Quick..impressive..." Aizen grins. We began clashing, the sounds of metal echoing through the room. I jumped back. I wasn't sure if this would be a good moment to reveal my bankai.
"Akuma Tsubasa... should we..?"
"Bankai?" I heard her voice respond. "Let's do it, Hisana-Chan."
My eyes began to glow red as I held my scythe up into the air. The increase of spiritual pressure in the room caused Aizen to freeze. "Don't tell me... you have a bankai as well?!"

"Damn right." I grinned. "Spread your wings and fly away!" A blast of purple reishi surrounded me. "Akuma no Tsubasa Orojii!!"
Smoke filled the room, and Aizen struggled to see.
"Damn.. she's impressive.. she'll make such a fine , wonderful, amazing Queen.."
I stand before him now, my black scythe is gone. There are pitch black angel-like wings on my back. They really do look like angel wings but the "feathers" are suppose to be like small blades. With every flap I'd do towards my enemy, it would hurl an assortment of feather blades towards them. I also could summon a scythe from my own will but I can have up to two.
Before Aizen could fight me even more, Gin Ichimaru appeared next to Aizen. "We have to go to enact the plan, now!"
They flash step away, and once the smoke cleared, I was the only one left in the room. "Damn you!" I roared in anger.
I had to hurry to  Sogyoku Hill.
————
Once I arrived, Aizen stood up at the hill holding Rukia is his hand. He extracted something from her chest. "No! Rukia!!"
"Kill her, Gin."

Gin grinned with such satisfaction. "Shoot em dead, Shinzo!" Before the blade could pierce her, Byakuya jumped in, protecting her.
"Brother!"
"Byakuya-kun!" I ran towards Aizen, but in flash, Ichigo and Renji were heading towards him to attack. Aizen struck down Renji in an easy blow and then he had one finger against Ichigo's arenas Zangetsu to stop it. "Ichigo!" Aizen struck Ichigo as well. They both fell to their knees and watched as Captain Ichimaru, Tosen, and Aizen all began to ascend into the sky. Aizen had held the object called the Hogoyoku in his hands. He slicked his hair back and removed his glasses. "I only will stand at the top."
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Menos Grande were now taking them into their hands and they disappeared into the confines of Hueco Mundo. One thing before the portal closed, was Aizen's words to me. "I will be coming for you, Hisana-Chan."
Numerous soul reapers from squad 4 came up, healing various officers and seated positions. A large barrier was placed around Byakuya and he held Rukia's hand.
I walked over, kneeling down beside them.
"Hisana..." Byakuya extended his other hand towards me. "I'm sorry with how cold I was towards you. I apologized to Rukia and told her the truth about her dead sister. "Your former wife, Hisana..?"
"Yes. Madame Hisana Kuchiki was Rukia's identical sister. Just a few years older than her though."
I glanced down at Byakuya. "I forgive you. Do you...still love me..?"
"With all of my heart."
