Bleach Fan-fiction 13

No one moved. They were frozen in place. Only Aya was able to react but she was unable to move anyway, because of the Captain Commander's bonds.
"Don't just stand there. Get your men away from the wall or we will have more than one death on her hands." Her voice was total deadpan but it alerted everyone to what they should be doing. Each of the Captains ran off in different directions to go help their squads. Urahara, Yoruichi, and Ichigo stayed behind and tried to help Aya get out of her bonds.
"It won't work," she said, "That was the most powerful Way of Binding there is, done by the most powerful Soul Reaper in all of Soul Society. Even I won't be able to break it until he himself releases it."
All emotion had left her voice. There were no longer tears streaking her face but the stains of where they had run before were still there.
"Can you all tell me who my Lieutenant is, so that I can ask him to get his men out of the line of fire --"
"There is no need. Captain Commander Yamamoto already explained everything to me and I have called all of our men back," a man with gray hair and a mustache said.
"You are Squad 1's lieutenant? What is your name?" Aya asked.
"I am Chojiro Sasakibe. I will follow your every order," he said, bowing.
"Great," Aya sighed, "Please send a messenger to all the Squads saying that they are to ready themselves for battle the moment that barrier is down. I want the 4th Squad to prepare the barracks for any wounded and set up posts near the wall so that they are nearer as well. I want the 12th Squad to get me as much intel on what is going on on the outside of that barrier so that we know how to act. Tell the Stealth Force and the 2nd Squad as well, if needed, to set up a guard around the perimeter of Seireitei so that no Hollows can come in. All other Squads are to prepare to fight and kill all the Hollows. I want the 1st Squad to find out who planned this and why they did. Also, all Squads must find and capture this person as soon as possible. Please send this message out to everyone."
"Yes, ma'am," Chojiro said, watching Aya in new eyes as she easily slipped into her leadership role. He left and sent Hell Butterflies to the Captains of all the Squads.
"I'm impressed," Urahara said, "You seem to know what you are doing."
"I don't but the trick is to make it sound like you do," Aya replied. Urahara laughed.
"You probably shouldn't tell anyone out of this room what you just said."
"It's not like I'm totally inexperienced. I was a Captain before everything went haywire. I'm not totally incompetent," she sighed. The light had yet to come back into her eyes and her voice was still in a dead monotone.
"Shihouin Aya. You are my ancestor. I must say that it is a little strange for me to speaking so directly to someone that I had studied about when I was learning about my family tree," Yoruichi said.
"You are of the Shihouin Clan?"
"Yep, I'm afraid I may have abandoned it a little though when I ran away with a traitor to Soul Society."
"I suppose you had a good reason and that you've been forgiven if you are standing so calmly in this office."
"Not totally forgiven but they let me come back here every once in a while if they really need my help." Aya snorted. Then everyone fell into silence as they waited for the bonds around Aya's body to break.
Twenty minutes later, Chojiro opened the door and said, "Everyone is together and ready to take on the Hollows. We have five minutes left. Is there anything you need me to do, Captain Commander Ma'am?" he asked.
"Yes, tell everyone in the 13 Squads that until the wall breaks down they are to stay still in respectful silence, in honor of your Captain Commander," she said, her eyes sad and dark.
"Yes, Ma'am," Chojiro said and walked quickly out of the door to spread the message to everyone.
For the last three minutes of Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryuusai's life, thousands of his followers stood in complete silence as they waited for him to commit his final act to save them.
