When the clouds above opened up

Chapter 1;

'All court guard squad captains, lieutenants and seated officers, may I have your attention please, and also the ryoka. This is squad four lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu, with an urgent announcement. Listen closely as the message will not be repeated. This is an emergency report from captain Unohana regarding a traitor in our midst. As grim as the following facts are, what I'm about to tell you is the truth.'

The words she spoke hung stale in the air long after the announcement had finished. Every captain and lieutenant in the Gotei 13 was headed towards Sokyoku Hill the moment the words were echoed in the Sereitei. Rangiku Matsumoto among them.

'I can't believe it, my captain lost.' She said aloud, but contrary to this many unbelievable things seemed to be happening all at once. The simple thought of traitors within the walls of the Sereitei seemed completely absurd, not to mention Central 46 being completely slaughtered. But there was no denying it, she had known from the moment her captain had sent her off that things were taking a turn for the worse.

She flash stepped away from a defeated Izuru and headed for the hill. She would do all in her power to stop the traitors, because she would not allow Gin Ichimaru to get away with this. She grew up with him, and she cared for him too deeply, she'd spent too many nights in his quarters and too many days wondering when she might see him again to believe he would go this far and to forgive him for what he was doing.

Her emotions were conflicted, she couldn't help but to hope Gin was innocent , But it lay as fact; Gin was a traitor, and it was the traitors who defeated her captain and now threatened the whole of Soul Society. If he really was part of this, she wanted to be the one to deal with him.

She was now flying from rooftop to rooftop at top speed and was quickly approaching the hill. Before long she would be at the scene of the betrayal and within reach of Gin.

Step by step she'd reached the top of the hill and the whole scene was within her range of vision. Captain of squad seven, Komamura, was sprawled on the ground with blood flowing from severe cuts all over his body. Even Renji and the ryoka, Ichigo, were on the ground fighting for breath. Aizen and Tosen stood apart, and directly ahead of Rangiku stood Gin, his back to her.

One step away from Gin, Rangiku watched as Yoroichi and Soi Fong trapped Aizen in a fatal hold, zanpakuto resting against his throat. One step after she'd placed her own sword to Gin's neck, Shuhei had done the same with Tosen. By now every able captain and lieutenant in the thirteen court guard squads stood around them, including the giant keeper of the gate and Kukkaku Shiba.

'Sorry, Captain Aizen. I went n' got caught.' Gin said suddenly, a smile spread across his lips. Aizen merely looked over, he didn't seem as worried as he should have been.

She tightened her grip on him. This was no time for joking. 'Gin, how could you?' she hissed into his ear, while all the others were focused on Aizen. He stifled a laugh and gave no answer.

Rangiku listened closely to what Yoroichi was saying, all the while concentrating on holding her zanpakuto firmly against Gin's neck. She watched as Yoroichi told Aizen they had no way of escaping, as Aizen smiled and said it was time, and finally as Yoroichi yelled. 'Get away, Soi Fong!'

She looked up in time to see a beam of light fall down from the sky onto the ground where Aizen stood. The sound was incredible, it shook the ground and the wind blew fiercely from the impact. Her gaze followed the beam of light back up to the sky. She watched as the clouds opened up and the clear blue was ripped open by a pair of giant white hands, and she watched as dozens more appeared. The menos broke though the sky and pushed their faces through the enlarged whole.

Captains and lieutenants alike were all letting out shouts of shock and disbelief. Aizen, Gin and Tosen were allies with the hollow. And now the guillians were reaching out to save them.

The time had come for the traitors escape, Rangiku did as Yoroichi and Soi fong had and stepped away from Gin just as another thunderous crack announced the arrival of two more beams of light, which fell onto Tosen and Gin. She'd though she was in the clear, but just before the beam hit the ground she was grabbed by the wrist and whipped around until her back was to Gin's chest, and it he who held her by the throat.

'Ya ain't goin' anywhere Rangiku.' He whispered softly into her ear. Her eyes widened in shock and fear, she couldn't escape. It was impossible to leave the light once you were in and with Gin holding his shinzo to her throat she had little choice but to stay still.

'Rangiku!' she heard people out of sight yell, though she could clearly distinguish Shuhei and Renji's voices among them. She watched Yamamoto standing still, with no expression on his old features whatsoever, while captains of squad eight and thirteen stood beside him lost for words, sorrowful looking.

The ground began to shake and everyone watched as all at once the earth on which Aizen, Tosen, Gin and now Rangiku stood was ripped from Sokyoku Hill. They floated up towards the giant whole in the once perfect sky leaving only dust in their wake. Rangiku felt Gin's grip loosen, but knew there was nothing she could do now, so she simply stood still and took one last fleeting look at Soul Society before being swallowed completely by the darkness.

Down below, the remaining captains and lieutenants of the Gotei 13 watched above as the sky closed up. There was no saving Rangiku, they couldn't even be sure whether this was all planned among the four of them or if she'd really been kidnapped. They could only hope she'd be able to survive until they'd figure out a plan of rescue.

Well, sorry its so short, I just wanted to include this part. It will get longer and hopefully better!

Tell me how my writing is and what you think so far, thanks :)
