Aizen lept from Ichigo's attack landing behind Kita with a smirk. "Listen to the girl Ukitake. I would hate to see something happen to Yumiko because you decided to keep me from Kita."
Aizen grabbed Kita as Juushiro spun. Aizen bounded back a few yards stopping, he whispered in Kita's ear. "Kita dear. If you don't want anything bad to happen to the Captain, Ichigo or the ever treasured Rangiku." He reached into his pocket lifting out the Hougyoku and placed it in Kita's hand. "Tell Kisuke to unseal the Hougyoku. He has one day." He drew closer to Kita's ear and kissed the rim and whispered for her ears only. "Or Rangiku will die this time."
Aizen wiped the blood from his cheek that Juushiro created he smirked. "One day." Aizen repeated releasing Kita, as Kita fell to her knees.
Aizen then vanished before them.

"Damn bastard!" Ichigo said landing near Kita he walked up to her and knelt down beside her. He placed his hands on her shoulders. "Are you okay? Speak to me."

Juushiro knelt down and then paled at what lay in her hands. The sealed Hougyoku. Sighing deeply, the captain took the sphere from her hands and squeezed them. "It is not your fault, Kita. It was only a matter of time before he found us out."

Kita nodded with her head hung as she looked at her hands were the orb sat. Tears falling once more. "Aizen... he... he... he has Rangiku."

Juushiro's eyes narrowed. "How long?" he asked quickly.
Kita hiccuped. "One. one day," she sniffed.
Juushiro nodded and whirled around. "Kurosaki. Go to Soul Society," he ordered. "Bring back Kyoraku. Tell him I sent you." Ichigo opened his mouth and Juushiro cut him off. "We don't have time. Go."

Ichigo growled low in his chest and turned. He shoved Zangetsu through the air and turned it like a key. The doors to the Senkaimon opened and Ichigo ran through as the doors closed behind him.

"Belated Explanations":Hitsugaya landed near the two of them and walked up to Ukitake. "They got Rangiku. Aizen had one of his Espada take her while I wasn't in the room. I tried to chase after him, but Ichimaru stopped me and made me fall back." He clenched his fists and jaw. "The nerve of that bastard. I swear if anything happens to Rangiku because of him again, I'll..."

Juushiro sighed again. "I have sent Kurosaki for Shunsui," he stated. Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow in confusion. "It was a joint effort between Kisuke and us that sealed the Hougyoku and it will be the three of us that will have to unseal it." He lowered his head. "It's unseal the Hougyoku in one day for Rangiku's life. That is what Sousuke came to say."
He set a hand on Kita's head. "Yes, Kita, we can unseal it in time," he murmured. He said nothing of what it would cost to do so in such a short time. He didn't need to.

Hitsugaya's eyes widened. They then went from shock to anger. "Damn him! All this, and for what? To kill the Soul King and to get revenge on Soul Society?" Then he blinked and looked up at Ukitake. "And what do you mean unseal it? When was this done? Tell me what's going on, Ukitake."

Juushiro helped Kita to her feet. "The Hougyoku's fate, secret from most on the off-chance someone did overhear what happened to it, was this. The sphere was given to Kisuke Urahara, its maker, after a complex set of seals that would seal it away, done by the Captain Commander, Urahara, and myself. We hoped by doing that it would never be seen again."

"And yet it is in his hands again. How did he even get it in the first place?" Hitsugaya inquired.

Juushiro looked to Kita and then back at the young captain, knowing neither would be happy by his next words. "Kisuke gave it to Ichimaru to split the fox's loyalty and stall Aizen's interest in Kita."

Hitsugaya was beyond shock and disbelief. "Kisuke gave Ichimaru of all people the Hogyoku?! Even worse yet, it didn't even work. An Espada still came and took her and he found out about the Seraph anyway. Now he's got Rangiku and is using her as an ultimatum to get you three to undo what you did to the Hogyoku. And knowing Ichimaru, he could take Kita back there regardless. Then he'll have both--the Seraph and the Hogyoku. By giving him the Hogyoku it just added fuel to the fire!"

Kita looked to Juushiro with a blank expression. Her hand slowly lifting to her head as it shook slightly. "So I was just..." she could not finish her sentence. "I am nothing to him. Just a bartering tool."
She looked to Toshiro then to Juushiro. "Please take me back to the shop."
