52 Treachery

"Isane, I want you to inform all captains and lieutenants of what we have learned about Aizen as well as her location. Please relay the same message to the ryoka as well. " Unohana ordered her lieutenant and started ascended the platform.

"Yes, captain." Isane replied to her.

"I'm counting on you Isane. And now I will do my best to save Captain Hitsugaya and lieutenant Hinamori. " Unohana added and drew her Zanpakutō, Minazuki.

It had finally begun, Aizen, Gin and Tosen have finally betrayed the Gotei 13. Currently, Aizen is heading towards Rukia's location to take the Hōgyoku from her body.

Behind Unohana, Isane draws angled patterns on her arms and hands before making several seals.

" Silken net of black and white! Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowning sash; footprints, distant thunder, pointed peaks, revolving grounds, nightly prostrations, sea of clouds, the pale ranks of troops, complete the grand circle and surpass the heavens. Bakudō #77. Tenteikūra! "

All of a sudden, Isane was able to connect to the minds of Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe, Captain Soifon, Lieutenant Marechiyo Ōmaeda, 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura, Lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba, 8th Division Captain Shunsui Kyōraku, Lieutenant Nanao Ise, 9th Division Lieutenant Shūhei Hisagi, 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi, 12th Division Lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi, 13th Division Captain Jūshirō Ukitake, 3rd Seats Sentarō Kotsubaki and Kiyone Kotetsu and lastly, Ichigo and his friends.

'Connection successfully established. Greetings captains, lieutenants and the ryoka. This is the lieutenant of the 4th division, Isane Kotetsu speaking. This is an emergency. Please heed this urgent message from Captain Unohana and I. Everything that I'm about to tell you is true. '

All of the people Isane connected to with her Bakudō heard her voice in their minds. Ichigo's playful face Immediately morphed into a blank one.

'I regret to inform you that 5th Division Captain Sosuke Aizen, 3rd Division Captain Gin Ichimaru along with 9th Division Captain Kaname Tōsen have all betrayed us. They have defeated Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Hinamori. Captain Unohana is currently doing all she can to stabilize them. '

'They have also massacred the Central 46 and are currently heading their way towards the captains and lieutenants at Sōkyoku Hill. Be warned the Aizen has a hypnosis type Zanpakutō and can the five senses to the point where it can make the target misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel, and smell to be an enemy's. Do not look at her Zanpakuto or else you will succumb to the hypnosis. ' Isane continued her message.

Yamamoto was in shock. "The Central 46.... Massacred.... So that means that Aizen ordered the girl's execution." Yamamoto whispered and looked at Rukia.

Ichigo chuckled and unsheathed his sealed Zanpakutōs. "I'll deal with them. You guys just sit back here and guard Rukia. My guess is that they want something from her." Ichigo gave his own theory and started walking away.

" Boy, do you even know where Aizen is? " Yamamoto asked him. Ichigo looked back.

" Relax old man, I'm trained in the art of sensing Reiatsu. They're over there. " Ichigo pointed northeast. Yamamoto lifted his wooden cane.

"Then I'll come with you. They were my captains, it is my responsibility." Yamamoto suggested. Ichigo shook his head.

"No. It's too risky. Aizen has a hypnosis type Zanpakutō remember? You will stay here and make sure no one ambushes the others." Ichigo ordered calmly. Yamamoto huffed.

"You cannot order me, boy!" Yamamoto argued. Ichigo shrugged.

"You're staying here and it's final." Ichigo replied back to him. He used Sonído, creating a static sound in the process. Yamamoto sighed.

"I want to hit him in the head." He grumbled.

"Yo!"

Everyone turned to the newcomer. It was Yoruichi.

"Relax, I heard the message as well. I want to help." Yoruichi raised her hands and explained. Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

"How do we know that we can trust you?" Chōjirō asked her. Yoruichi shrugged.

" I don't know." Yoruichi grumbled. Soifon who was already up and about leaned into Yamamoto's ear.

" It's her, Commander. I know her scent very well. She's the real one." Soifon whispered. Yamamoto stayed silent for a while.

" You can stay. But keep a safe distance from us. " Yamamoto ordered Yoruichi. Yoruichi shrugged.

" Fine by me. " Yoruichi muttered.

Aizen was taking a stroll towards Sōkyoku Hill. She was smiling all the way. "It has finally begun. I can finally throw away this facade." Aizen muttered with a smile. But then she stopped walking.

" Hmm?"

Ichigo appeared in the sky and was diving down. "Raikohou." Ichigo muttered and the tip of the claymore on his right hand generated an orb of yellow lightning. He fired a massive beam of energy which resembles a lightning strike.

The lightning strike struck Aizen.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!*

Ichigo landed on the ground far away from the cloud of smoke surrounding Aizen.

"Very good, Ichigo. But Hadō in the 60s isn't enough to defeat me. " The smoke revealed Aizen whose clothing is now singed. Ichigo ignored her taunting, instead he was focused on the other parts of Aizen. For example, her feminine face.

" Wait..... You're a girl!!!!! " Ichigo accused and pointed his index finger at her. Aizen giggled.

" What's wrong with that, Ichigo-kun?~ " Aizen muttered seductively. Ichigo was starstruck.

"I thought Aizen was a boy's name." Ichigo muttered to himself. Aizen shook her head.

" Names don't describe everything, Ichigo. Just like how appearances can be deceiving." Aizen told him. Ichigo gripped his blades tightly.

"It doesn't matter if you're an animal or a girl, Aizen. You're still a traitor to the Gotei 13, you must be dealt swiftly. " Ichigo declared. Aizen raised an eyebrow at him.

" Ho? And where did this sense of responsibility come from? I thought the Gotei 13 was your sworn enemy?" Aizen argued with him with a smile on her face.

" It was just a big misunderstanding. You were the one who ordered Rukia to be executed after all. " Ichigo replied back. Aizen stayed silent.

" Plus, this would get me to be in the good books of the old man. " Ichigo added.

" What do you mean, Ichigo-kun? " Aizen asked him.

" If I get in his good books, I may have a chance to become Captain Commander. " Ichigo explained. Aizen stared at him.

" Pfft!! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!! " Aizen laughed loudly. She clutched her stomach and knelt on the ground still laughing hysterically.

" What's so funny about that, Aizen? " Ichigo looked at her with an amused smile. Aizen giggled and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"You think he'll assign you to be the second Captain Commander? He would rather assign Captain Kyōraku, an adult, to be in that position than a teenager. " Aizen made fun of Ichigo. Ichigo smiled wryly at her.

" At least I get to be in his good books." Ichigo muttered. Aizen stood up and took off her glasses. She wiped it with her shihakusho and put it back on. Aizen looked at Ichigo.

" Enough of your delusions, Ichigo. Let us see who will get out of here alive. Good luck~" Aizen's smiled at him evilly. Ichigo raised his weapons again and smirked back at her.

"I should be the one saying this to you, Aizen....
