*It's a cold rainy day in Karakura Town... The ocassional delivery man rides through the streets on his moped, splashing the sidewalks and shop windows... the sun is setting, a dark orange gleam decorates the town from the reflection of the puddles and windows*
Matsumoto: Oooh! And look at this one too, it's soooo cute! Oooh, this one would be perfect for you! Try this one on okay?
Inoue: *wrapping her fingers softly around the outfit thrust at her* uh...
Matsumoto: You're gonna look soooo cute! *closing the curtain as she helps Inoue change into the outfit*
*The bell rings at the front door of the shop, signaling that someone has entered... the shop-keeper is stretching falls over the counter, trying to spy on the two women in the changing booths as he tries to appear consumed in his work*
Matsumoto: Perfect! *sliding behind Inoue and putting her hands on her shoulders*
Inoue: *gulping* Do you really think it's me Rangiku-san?... *wearing the exact same outfit as Matsumoto, stitch-for-stitch*
Matsumoto: *un-doing the top 4 buttons* 'Now' it's perfect! We're twins!
Inoue: *grasping the un-buttoned shirt closed with her palm* I... don't know Rangiku-san...
Matsumoto: You can be my little sister! *popping a golden blonde wig on her head and pinching her cheeks* See, now we just-
Hitsugaya: Matsumoto!... we need to leave... it's almost time~ *calling from outside the changing room*
Matsumoto: Awww!... If we have to... *turning back to the changing room
mirror* when I get back I have so many more outfits for us! *grinning as she gives Inoue a big uncomfortable hug*
Inoue: *smiling nervously* Hurry back Rangiku-san! *secretely hoping she forgets about it*
*It's been a week since Aizen and Gin were taken back by force to the Seireitei... Kaname Tousen was murdered by Aizens own hand, for the simple reason that he no longer needed him around, just to make an example that he needed no one to carry out his plans when confronted by the captains of the Gotei 13... Momo Hinamori has already accepted the position as Captain of the 5th squad, taking Aizen Sousukes place and becoming the 2nd Captain in history to not have achieved Bankai... Hisagi Shuhei was rejected when he offered himself to take up former Captain Tousens seat as the 9th squad captain... instead, Renji Abarai was bestowed with the honor... only accepting it once winning a re-match with Byakuya Kuchiki, proving to himself that he can move on... Rukia Kuchiki has taken Renjis place as the Byakuyas Vice Captain, with great reluctance from her brother... The third squad Captains fate is still being decided... Today the final deliberations are to take place, to decide the punishment for Ichimaru... While he left with Aizen, betraying all of Soul Society, he destroyed the Hougyoku*
Yamamoto: Ichimaru Gin!
*The Captains of the Gotei 13 are all present, side-by-side with their respective first seat as the final verdicts are to be presented...*
Yamamoto: While you played a key part in the battles of Heuco Mundo, you betrayed yourself and everyone in Soul Society forsaking your duties! You have shattered the faith of the third squad, as well as that of myself and every other man and woman in Soul Society... Your betrayal is unforgiveable! However due to your years of service, and your key role in capturing Aizen Sousuke, you will be spared, and sentenced to wander for the rest of your days through Heuco Mundo, banished from forever entering Soul Society or the real world!
*Gin loses his eye-contact with the Captain commander, dropping to his knees as he stares at the rust on a single bar of his holding cell, the chains attatched to the collar on his neck pulling him back as he loses his strength in his limbs...*
Matsumoto: Gin! *she runs to him, falling to her knees as she grabs his hand with hers, caressing his steely fingers as he looks up at her weakly*
Gin: Forgive me... I only did what i thought was best... *grasping her hand as he looks up at everyone* I accept my sentence...
Yamamoto: Matsumoto Ran-!
*an explosion consumes the holding tower, cement and portions of the wall scatter, smoke engulfing every inch of the area*
Aizen: Such... a shame... I really hope you didn't think a simple Ryoka could seal my power forever... *ripping off the constraints on his wrists, legs, and neck as he smiles at a hurt Momo Hinamori, wearing what was once his Captains uniform*
Yamamoto: Aizen Sousuke...
Aizen: Bankai...
*Aizens Suigetsu Kyoka turns to dust and blows in random directions into the wind... everyone is frozen, motionless, except for a specific few, perhaps allowed to, by Aizens choosing*
Hitsugaya: *tending to Matsumoto after taking the hit from a pillar that was about to crash down on her* Aizen Sosuke! I will end you right now! *reaching for his Zanpakutou but unable to pull it out from its sheath* What is this?! Another illusion!?
Aizen: An illusion, my son? maybe you just need to eat your vegetables... *grinning warmly*
Hitsugaya: How dare you?! Destructive Art number 63! Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down, sōren sōkatsui! *the blast of reiatsu strikes the ex-Captain head on, a puff of smoke rising, with Aizen standing there unphased*
Aizen: How dare I?... Tell your son Matsumoto, tell him who he really is...
Hitsugaya and Gin: *both opening there eyes wide as they mumble*
Matsumoto: *looking down at he ground as she grits her teeth, slowly standing herself up as her eyes remain on the floor* It was a long time ago... Gin, he did it to me... he threatened your life if i ever were to say a word... *Hitsugayas hair turns a light brown, an illusion of Aizens* I am your mother though... Toushirou... Sosuke... *looking over at him nervously*
Hitsugaya: You... bastard!... *screaming as his blue reiatsu explodes in an upward spiral into the sky, his hair turning white again as parts of his uniform are torn off from the intense reiatsu* Bankai! *tearing his Zanpakutous sheath to pieces in his grip, causing his hand to bleed as he releases his Bankai, flying at Aizen*
*a flash of red and blue sparkles... Matsumoto and Gin shield their eyes as the waves of reiatsu push them back roughly... Toushirou is face-flat on the floor, his body soaked in a pool of thick, ice-cold blood, his right arm dissevered from his body as he stares off into the distance, motionless*
Matsumoto: Taichou! *running to him, her face drenched with tears as she squeezes him tightly* How could you!? Your own son!? You're a monster!
Aizen: *closing his eyes with a smile as he chuckles a bit* He'll live... You saw his display of reiatsu... My son can't be killed by a simple chop with my hand... and if he does~ not such a loss *smiling in Gins direction now*
Gin: I know what you're thinking... I know... I always knew that you were on to me from the very beginning... why did you play along? *grabbing onto the cage bar roughly*
Aizen: For entertainment, why else? *smiling at his former comrade*
Matsumoto: *her weapon drawn as she faces Aizen from behind* Growl! Haineko!
Aizen: Do you people never learn anything?...
Matsumoto: What makes you think I was attacking you?!
Aizen: *raising a semi-concerned eye-brow before smiling* Shinso...
Gin: *freed from his cage and contraints from Matsumotos attack, Ichimaru has released his shikai, impaling it through Aizens back and out his stomach*
*the tower begins to crack, raising from the ground... obviously an illusion, as it begins to rain... thunder cracks and lightning roars as Aizen grabs hold of Shinso, stopping it from extending further and slicing his flesh as it pushes Gin onto his back, the tower begins to spin very slowly, almost un-noticeablely*
Matsumoto: Roar Haineko! *she calls out as she motions her hands together towards Aizens wound, the ash of her shikai tearing the flesh from his hand and tearing open his stomach and insides as he breaks Shinso in his hand, still standing there smiling...*
Aizen: I hope you're enjoying my illusions... *he turns around, perfectly unharmed* but now I believe it's time we close the curtain...
*Blood splatters across the floor, the tower crashes down into the seireitei, smoke and dust flying as the rain stops... every inch surrounding the crash-site of the tower dripping with either rain, blood, or a mixture of both*
Histsugaya: So much for your illusions... *the one-armed Captain twists his blade in Aizens heart through his back, suddenly they're in a fully re-built tower, everyone in conscious, and Toushirous hair remains white...* Father! *laughing sarcastically before letting the former Captain fall, his Zanpakutou stuck through his heart as he collapses down to his knees, the blood loss from his arm stopped by a sheet of ice he coated over his wound...*
Matsumoto: Toushirou! *she runs to him, catching him before he collapses backwards as she presses her face against his head, his body is freezing cold, a sign that he's not fully controlling his reiatsu*
Mayuri: Another illusion, hmph...
Unohana: *gasping* Captain Hitsugaya... *rushing over, Isane Kotetsu following right behind her as Matsumoto lays him down for them to heal him*
Yamamoto: Taichou Zaraki Kenpachi... Taichou Byakuya Kuchiki... restrain Ichimaru Gin while I open the gate...
Hitsugaya: *coughing blood* No!
Yamamoto: No?...
Hitsugaya: *standing up* Uh
Unohana: Hitsugaya, you're not healed yet!
Hitsugaya: Please... call me Toushirou Ichimaru... Aizens illusions have ruled our senses for far too long... please pardon him, he has risked himself time and again just to protect us all...
*Hitsugaya collapses, needing to be healed, as the Captains agree to discuss further... After weeks of deliberation, Gin Ichimaru is restored his seat as Captain of the 3rd squad and given a full pardon for his crimes... Matsumoto and Gin slowly become the talk of the Seireitei as they publicly display their true affections for one another... Toushirou and Momo Hinamori are now spending a lot of time together as well... Yachiru has even admitted seeing them holding hands one night after dark, looking up at the stars... the moon shines on Soul Society, sparkling, as the shadows of two couples meet lips under the night sky*
Matsumoto: Oooh! And look at this one too, it's soooo cute! Oooh, this one would be perfect for you! Try this one on okay?
Inoue: *wrapping her fingers softly around the outfit thrust at her* uh...
