Chapter 2: "Memories Part 1 - Before the Betray has change everything"

Nanashi looks at the spot where Aizen disappeared and remembers when she still had a home and a job….

6 ½ years earlier….
"You called for me, Yamamoto-sama?" Asks the blue-haired girl, calm and cold as always, and looks at the man behind the desk. "We suspect that there is a traitor here, Nanashi. Your division should track him down and neutralize him as soon as you have informed me who it is.", He replies seriously, but nevertheless friendly and looks at her urgently, whereupon the addressed just nods and then disappears.

Nanashi walks through Seireitei after informing the few members of her division about the assignment. "Nana-chan !!!" someone calls out from behind her, whereupon she turns around and Aizen appears and she looks at him slightly annoyed. "Don't always call me that. My name is Nanashi. I don't give you a nickname either.", She says calmly and skeptically when he smiles at her friendly, whereupon he just laughs slightly. "You sound like Toushiro sometimes. He doesn't like belittling his name either.", He replies and looks at her intently, whereupon she just sighs in annoyance and then looks at him with a slightly cocked head. "And what do you want? If you want to know what kind of job he gave me, then I can only tell you that ..." she begins.
"That you are not allowed to tell anyone because it is top secret.", Says a slightly amused voice, whereupon Shuuhei appears next to them, who only smiles slightly and then nods. "Exactly, it's secret and that's why I won't tell you.", She replies, slightly annoyed and crosses her arms, whereupon Aizen only smiles mysteriously and then says goodbye to both of them. "I thought it would never work.", Says the blue-haired woman and then sees the black-haired man who only smiles slightly, whereupon the man shakes his head and looks at her. "Hey, what's going on, Nana-chan?" He asks calmly and looks thoughtfully into her eyes, whereupon the person addressed only grumbles when she hears her nickname and then sighs softly. "I just don't trust him, that's all.", She replies calmly and looks at him with a slight smile.
"You hardly trust anyone.", Shuuhei replies, skeptical and slightly amused, whereupon she only looks at him thoughtfully and then turns her gaze to the sky. "Just take care of yourself. A storm is brewing ... That might shake the entire soul society. I hope I'm wrong, but still watch out who you entrust something.", She says quietly and seriously concerned. whereupon he just hugs her and puts his chin on her head. "Don't worry so much. Actually, I should be the one of us who worries, not you ..." he starts and notices with a gentle smile that she returns the hug, whereupon the blue-haired woman just sighs slightly and to him looks up."After all, I have a promise to keep," he continues and gently strokes a strand from her face, whereupon she just smiles gently and tilts her head slightly. "Just take care of yourself, okay? And the promise is the promise of children. We were young and naive.", She replies thoughtfully and is then pouted at him. "And then it was just the promise of children. If it has to be I promise you over and over again, Nanashi.", He says seriously and also looks into her green eyes, whereupon the person addressed lowers her gaze and does not reply. "I'll always protect you ... and I'll keep the other promise too.", He breathes in her ear and notices with a slight smile that she got goosebumps on the back of her neck.
"You're the craziest weirdo I know, but that's why I like you.", She mumbled against his upper body with a slight red sheen on her cheeks, whereupon he just laughs and looks down at her. "At some point ... Nana-chan ... I'll keep my promises. Even if it was only those of a naive boy.", He whispers softly and only hears someone calling him from afar, whereupon she just smiles and breaks away from him. It is his Taicho Tousen who looks at them both with a light and knowing smile.
"Your type is required, weirdo. I'll go again too. After all, as a Taicho, I can't let the others do all the work. Ryu will kill me if you distract me further.", Nanashi says, curling her lips to a crooked grin as she tousled his hair for a moment and then turned around to go back to her office when he pulled her back to kiss her briefly, whereupon she was skeptical after the two of them broke up again looks and then just shakes his head. "As I said weirdo. And now go ... Your Taicho is waiting and I also have a lot to do ... See you at home.", She says and with the help of Shunpo disappears from the field of vision of the two of them.

Two weeks later…
"We haven't found anything useful so far. Most of the traces we have got lost in the sand, but I think it won't be long before the traitor is caught, Yamamoto-sama.", Explains the young Taicho calmly and matter-of-factly, whereupon the person addressed just nods and looks thoughtfully out the window. "We have to find the traitor. Who knows what else will happen," he says with a serious and visibly concerned undertone, whereupon the blue-haired woman just nods. "I heard Hisagi Fuku-Taicho and you got engaged," he says with a friendly smile, whereupon the addressed blushes slightly and the commander-general starts to laugh. "I hope that you will be happy and that you will also invite me to the wedding.", He says with a gentle smile, whereupon the addressee nods and scratches her head, embarrassed."Well, it's not that long. We're taking our time. I'll be on my way again. Maybe my people already have new leads.", She says and bows shortly before she disappears.

Nanashi enters her office and Hiko walks up to her immediately. "Nanashi-Taicho, we have something. It's just a clue again. A few decades ago there was one thing that struck me. Several Taicho have disappeared without a trace ... Well, they fled. After an accident during an experiment, what Urahara was Kisuke, the then Taicho of the 12th Company, carried out at that time. Nothing is described in more detail. But I would not be Hiko, I would not have found out something how we can get this information the world of the living to come, but we'll find a way. ", explains the redhead excitedly and has given her a thick folder with all kinds of notes, whereupon the addressed sits down on the sofa and looks at her Fuku-Taicho. "What do you think? Could that be a trace?", She asks the black-haired woman calmly and leans back, whereupon she thinks about it and then sighs softly.
"It could be something ... Aizen was apparently involved there ... We have to talk to someone who was there at the time. We won't get any answers from the people here, so we have to talk to these Urahara. He may know the truth. On reports we can no longer rely on each other. ", the addressed begins matter-of-factly and looks at the recordings again, whereupon the Sarana only nods. "I'll build a gate before dawn tomorrow. It's against the rules, but in this case it is important to listen to the side that no one has ever listened to. After all, I only joined this company because I want to find the truth and with it The older of the two continues and stands up, whereupon the other two Shinigamis nod and watch her as they disappear from the room.

"I'll go alone, okay, Hiko? Ryu knows it anyway. If I find anything that should cause me to lose my job, I don't want any of the other five of you to get involved. If it really does come to that I'll flee and leave Seireitei forever. ", says the younger one calmly and also gets up, whereupon Hiko looks at her pouting and bewildered. "You don't really think that we will let you go alone if you lose your job. I don't want any other Taicho besides you. We are a team, already forgotten and now go and rest so that you can get out of bed tomorrow morning You also have some time for Shuuhei again. "Because the last sentence is accompanied by a broad grin on the part of the redheads, whereupon the addressed only shakes her head and walks towards the door."See you tomorrow. You can go too. It would be mean if we all call it a day and only you have to toil.", Says the blue-haired woman with a smile and then leaves the room to make her way to her apartment do. On the way she stops and looks up at the sky, whereupon she examines the clouds with concern. "The storm is getting closer ... Soon it will break out.", She whispers softly and sadly and starts moving again, whereupon she arrives a quarter of an hour later and throws herself on the black sofa and puts an arm over her eyes. The other one just hangs down on the edge of the sofa. "I kind of have a bad feeling ... If that's really what I think, then I'll have to go.", She breathes and looks at the ring on the silver chain, whereupon she sighs slightly and sits up again. "You will hate me ... Maybe my skills are misleading me ... He can't ... No, he's one of the nicest people I've ever met.", She whispers desperately and has her head on her knees. whereupon she only hears the door being opened and someone entering the living room ...
