Disclaimer: Do not own bleach if I did Aizen wouldn't have become a butterfly I mean
really a butterfly anyway I move on.



All was quite a few shinigami partying nothing more until the 12th squad barracks exploded and in the night sky flew a lone figure with his head and face covered the figure flew the night sky some shinigami tried to stop him the figure did a few quick hand-to-hand combat moves and shunpo'd away he was reaching the end of the Seireitei he was almost there until.

"Halt."

The figure turned around and eyes widen slightly standing before him was Soifon zanpaktou drawn and ready to fight.

'Shit why now.' The figure thought.

"Remove your mask and hood now and drop your zanpaktou now!"

His hand went up to his hood and mask and removed it to say Soifon was shock was an understatement.

"Thanaos." She said softly.

He didn't say anything he just stared at her. Soifon was confused ,but she thought Thanaos would come back giving her a chance to say she was sorry ,but now he was betraying soul society just like Aizen, Tosen and, Gin had done before it just didn't make sence.

"T-t-t-thanaos why?" It came out as nothing more then a whisper but he still heared it like she was right next to him.

He didn't say anything he didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent which seem to make Soifon worry more.

"Thanaos please answer me, please Thanaos." she begged with tears starting to form.

Thanaos had to fight back the urge to rush over to her and keep the tears from falling but he knew what he had to do he drew Zaibatsu and shunpo infront of her he gave  a simple overhead slash which she blocked and shunpo'd ten feet back. Thanaos didn't give her time to relax he charged at her and began a rampant of attacks at her she block and dodged most but, still got cut by his attack.

"Thanaos why, please answer me!" she pleaded but still got no reply.

Then the words she fear were said.

"Cry, Zaibatsu."

His reaitsu flared and he attack faster then before she just couldn't keep up.

"Sting all Enemies to Death Suzumebachi."

This didn't stop Thanaos at all he infact increased his effort to beat her they contuined to fight for another ten mintues before Thanaos decided to try and finsh this he kicked her back and began a kido

"The crest of turbidity, seeping out. An insolent vessel of madness. Boiling up, denying,  numbness, blinking, obstructing slumber. The steel princess who creeps. The mud doll, ever  disintegrating. Unite! Oppose! Filling the earth, know your own impotence!" Hado 90 Kurohitsugi."

A large black box was created and surrounded the area Soifon had been the box was about the size of a skyscraper this didn't go unnoticed and Captain Shunsei and Jushiro followed by Ichigo and Hitsugaya he knew he could fight them but only for a short time. He knew that he couldn't take on four captain class Shinigami and last long but, he needed to last a little longer.

"Bankai!" He shouted and the Captains felt the all to familar dark reaitsu.

"Akuma Zaibatsu." He stood with dark energy dripping of his bankai.

"All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade Sogyo no Kotowari." Said Jushiro as he released his zanpaktou.

"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer Katen Kyokotsu." Shunsei said as he took his normal shikai stance.

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens Hyorinmaru." he paused "Bankai!" Hitsugaya shouted.

"Bankai." Ichigo said.

"Daiguren Hyorinmaru."

"Tensa Zangetsu."

The five shinigami all looked at one another each pulling their knowledge about their enemy up. Thanaos took the first move and charged at Hitsugaya he was in a postion to attack but Ichigo stoped him before he could attack. Thanaos jump back before Shunsei or Jushiro could attack him he was on edge and made sure not to make any stupid mistakes That could casue him to lose. He held up his hand and began to charge red lightining in his hand.

"Fuurai" he said and a large vortex of red lightining shot towards the four Captains.

They each pulled their Zanpaktou back and hit the vortex head on it was spilt in seven pieces.

"You have too be better then that Thanaos Kaizaki." Said Shunsei wearing a serious expression.

He remain quiet and tried to keep calm and keep focus.

"One question Thanaos, was all that an act getting stronger for the ones you care for or did you just do it for this?"

He didn't reply he shunpo'd behind him and gave a uppercut to Jushiro which was caught before it could hit. Thanaos was sent flying back a kick by Shunsei. He was taking labored breath to regain some air that was knock out of him and, he stood up straight and put up both of his hands.

"Fuurai drake"

A giant thunder dragon came out of his hands and it charged at the four Captains sending them
flying giving him some peace and quiet for aleast a short while but being the center of attention
in the soul soceity is never good becasue he felt three more Captains and about six lieutenants on their way to fight.

'Damn only a little while more.' He thought.

He turned to face his new enemies and he could see the shock on their faces. Byakuya, Hisagi and, Mayuri were the captains that came followed by Nemu, Isane, Harribel, Renji, Iba, and Kira all stood facing Thanaos. Thanaos Knowing he would be out matched here decided to take them out now he Shunpo'd behind them and used his Fuurai move to injure a few lieutenant and just barely burn Hisagi.

"Thanaos Kaizaki you are betraying all your friends in Soul soceity why?" Asked Byakuya.

Thanaos didn't reply he just charged at him ready to attack. Mayuri on the other hand decided that he would get a sample of Thanaos's power now and stood in his path making him fight him instead Byakuya using the distraction relased his zanpaktou.

"Scatter, Senbozakura."

"Reap, Kazeshini."

"Rip, Ashisogi Jizo."

Thanaos jumped away before he could lose him head or anything else important. The captains charged at Thanaos, he  had to move faster then before to dodge the Captain's bankai.

'Damn how much longer?'

As soon as Thanaos thought that everyone was hit by a large reiatsu and a garganta opened up and
stepping foreward was the hooded women and the sickly man.

Cough-Cough"You shinigami come with us"Cough-Cough. The sickly man said.

Thanaos quicky did a shunpo and appeared with the two espada.

"THANAOS!"

Thanaos turned to see Ichigo standing there looking at him.

"WHAT THE HELL! WAS EVERYTHING YOU WORKED FOR, FOR NOTHING, IS THAT IT!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Thanaos turned to him and pushed his long hair out of his eye revealing just red.

"Of course not a part of me did wish to stay but now that I know Hawk is there I'm going to kill him
and do what ever I must to do it."

"THANAOS KAIZAKI!!" Ichigo shouted as he summoned his mask he wanted to stop him.

But Ichigo was to late. He stepped into the Garganta and as it closed all the Shinigami charged at him each one shouting his name. But he didn't turn he walked into the darkness and left his friends and loved ones behind.

-Two days later-

It was two days later, only a few shinigami were in the squad four barracks but the one who needed
the most attention was Soifon after getting hit by a perfect hado 90 she recived massive damage and almost died but thanks to Unohana and Orihime working around the clock for the last 43 hours she will recover with mininum damage and lucky no scaring she was said to be very lucky she was near death the whole time.

"How is she?" Asked a bandaged Hisagi

"Fine she'll be back to full strenght in about one month."

"Thats good. I feel sorry for her though."

"Yes to be attacked and almost killed by the man you love is truely terrible, I suppose he is going to become the next Aizen."

"Its sad really he has become consumed by his need for revenge. I wish we could have help him more."

"Yes Captain Hisagi it truely is a terrible fate."

"Thanaos."

Both Captains look at the sleeping form of Soifon and laughed lightly.

"It appears she still loves him more then she let on."

"It appears so Captain Unohana I'll take my leave good night Captain."

"Good night Captain Hisagi."

-Soifon's dream-

She and Thanaos were walking down a road to eat at a small resturaunt they heard about from Ulquiorra, he said it was very nice so the two of them decided to have a date day and go eat together.

"You know Thanaos I really do love this and you."

He smiled before replying. "And I you Soifon it feels perfect when I'm with you."

She blushed at this and reach up to give him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled a warm hearted smile at her and returned the gesture.

"I love you with all my being and soul Soifon."

"And I you MY Thanaos."

"Oh when did I become yours?" he joked.

"You know when we became one you became mine-"

"and you became mine Soifon." he smiled down at her blushing face."

But this dream was soon to become a nightmare.

-Soifon's nightmare-

The sky ripped open and out step the hooded women she looked down at the couple and grew a
smirk.

"What the hell do you-" Soifon couldn't finsh as she was kicked back by the Arrancar.

"SOIFON!" Thanaos howled

He grabbed his zanpaktou and she hers.

"CRY ZAIBATSU!" he roared.

He charged at her and tried to knock her head off ,but she ducked and delivered a swift kick to his chest and he flew into a wall.

"Damnit." he said weakly.

The hooded women stood before him and grabbed him by the throat. At this time Soifon was coming to and saw the sight before her.

"THANAOS!! get up now." she yelled but only recieved a look from the women.

"Well then you should LOVE this then." the women said.

She pulled Thanaos close and kissed him deeply Soifon was shocked becasue the second person she let into her heart was being stolen away right before her eyes. Thanaos was shocked by the softness of her lips. A familar pulse of evil reiatsu filled the area and now standing before Soifon was the Women and Thanaos in his Akuma Zaibatsu form.

"T-t-t-thanaos." she said weakily

"Your worthless you know that Soifon thats why I left I couldn'y stand the way you are and I couldn't stand your whole existance period."

Soifon woke up yelling Thanaos's name through out the squad four barracks she was greeted be a starled Isane and a worried looking Unohana.

"Captain Soifon are you all right?" asked Unohana

"I'm fine Captain Unohana." she lied.

Unohana didn't buy it.

"Isane can you leave us alone for a bit please."

"Yes Captain."

Unohana looked at Soifon.

"Now Soifon please tell me what is bottering you."

"I had a dream about Thanaos."

Unohana nodded to show she was listening.

"In my dream we were on a date and it was going great." she pasued for a bit"But then that hooded espada came and attack me and while I was down she took him and, and." she pasued again as if the next sentance would kill her. "She kissed him ,and he told me horrible things like he never loved me it, hurt so much."

Unohana looked down at the smaller Captain.

"Soifon that is normal you just lost you boyfriend ,and now you betrayed but remember all the good times and, remember he does love you.

Soifon looked up and, Unohana was happy to see that in her eyes she saw hope and, love for Thanaos.

"Captain Soifon please rest untill tomorrow I'll give you a morning check up and then you may leave."

"Thank you Captain Unohana."

Soifon laid down again ,and this time her dream was just peaceful.

-Garganta two days eariler-

Thanaos the sickly man and, the hooded women travelled in silence as they ran. When they left they were in the rebuilt castle that is Las noches they walk into the main room and, Thanaos had to marvel at the complex design of the lair and soon enough they were in a throne room. At all sides were the espada and the fraction.

"Welcome Thanaos Kaizaki how was your trip?"

"Gin Ichimaru how are you?"

"Good now tell me I have a deal for you." he said with his trademark grin.

"Whats the deal?" Thanaos asked although he already knew.

"I would like you to become a general of mine to help lead me army and, defeat the shinigami."

"Hmm if you let me fight Hawk then I'll join sound fair Gin-sama."

Gin smirk now grew to a face spilting smile now.

"Oh yes my dear general that can be arranged in two days if you like?"

"That is fine with me then please excuse me Gin-Sama."

"Goodbye and good night Kaizaki-kun."

Thanaos left the throne room by the hooded women. Thanaos looked at her in wonder.

"Excuse me Espada-san can you tell me your name?"

She stopped and, turned to look at him her hand reached up to grab her hood. To say Thanaos was shocked was an understatement there standing in front of him was a women with light purple hair and, feral green eyes.

"Its been a while Thanaos-kun." she purred.

"Rio-chan." he dumbly said.

Rio walked up to him and gave him a hug.

"Its great to know your here you know that Thanaos-kun."

"Yeah Rio-chan it is."

"Come on you can stay in my section."

She lead him to her lair to rest and, catch up.

-Two days later-

Thanaos was now in his uniform it was like his shinigami one but it was white and blue instead of red and black. He entered the throne room to see all the espada ,and Gin in the room and, standing in the middle ready to fight was Hawk himself.

"So shinigami you ready to die." Hawk spat.

Thanaos didn't even answer him instead he drew Zaibatsu and, got into a stance. Hawk drew his zanpaktou and the fight began.

"DIE SHINIGAMI!" Hawl shouted.

"Not a chance you damn bastard." Thanaos replyed

"Dive Halcon." Hawk shouted as he changed.

"Cry Zaibatsu."

Hawk threw punches and, kicks at Thanaos but, nothing could hit him.

"Time to die Hawk. Ban kai."

Demonic reiatsu filled the throne room Gin smiled at the amount of power from Thanaos Rio smiled
that her friend has gotten stronger then ever. Hawk on the other hand was fearing for his life at the killing intent he was shooting his way.

"No way." that was hawk had time to say as he was thrown into a way.

"Fuurai." Thanaos said as his attack hit Hawk dead on.

Hawk was barely alive and Thanaos was about to finsh this fight and, get his revenge finally.

"You deserve to die for you crimes Hawk and I'm the one who will deliver your sentance."

"Pleae mercy."

Thanaos didn't reply all he did was focus lightining in his hand and hit Hawk in the chest dead on with a full power lightining spear. Gin's clapping echo threw out the room.

"Incredible Kaizaki-kun you truely deserve the place in my army now please join us."

Thanaos looked up at Gin and around the room.

"You got a deal Gin-sama."
