(Aizen's p.o.v)
Just as I was about to slash her, I sheathed my sword. She looked at me with fear in her eyes. "A-Aizen...?"
I did not give her any reply, instead...I turned and started to walk away from her.
"What was I thinking...? Why would I kill her...? I promised Mizuki that she will live-"
I stopped walking. "She's not Mizuki. The real one...is dead."
I closed my eyes and began walking again. Why would I let myself be trapped in the past like this?
No...the past can't hold me down. I am far too powerful to be even bound by time.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone grab my sleeve.
"(Name)." I said simply.
"You tried to kill me...didn't you?" She said, her grip on my sleeve tightening.
I smiled, even though I knew my true reputation was hanging by a thread. "Why would I kill you? You're very important to me."
"Don't feed me lies, Aizen!!! Which is the true you?!" She yelled.
I smirked to myself. So she is doubting my fake personality now? Well...why would I let such a mistake slip through?
I raised my reiatsu, cornering her into a wall. "The true me, you ask?"
She cautiously put her hand on the handle of her zanpakuto. I smirked at her, lifting her face up close to mine by the chin.
"The Sosuke Aizen you know...had never existed to begin with. You people only see the shadow, never the true light."
She pushed me away, glaring at me and drawing out her zanpakuto. I chuckled, feeling amused at her reaction.
"Oh, but you just healed from your injuries. Trying to fight me would be a terrible mistake indeed."
"Shut up! How could you do this, Aizen?!" She said, her voice cracking a little.
I didn't answer, and she charged towards me.
"...hm? Did you say something?"
She suddenly sustained a severe injury, causing her to fall on the ground.
I approached her injured figure, squatting down. "Satisfied now? You have seen the true Sosuke Aizen."
"The same wound...the same place on her body...ain't that right, Aizen-san?"
My eyes widened a little, but then they returned to their emotionless form. "Kyoka Suigetsu."
A child, who looked exactly like me when I was younger, stood behind me.
"How much did you see?" I asked.
"Everything; even heard your icy words." He replied.
I chuckled, amused because of him. "Icy, you say? I think it may be something far worse."
He closed his eyes. "Guess I described it wrongly, because every word that comes out of your mouth is potent poison."
Then he approached us, his small hand reaching for (name), then he touched her forehead.
"Oh, same reiatsu? Can it be?"
"What are you talking about?"
He gave me a smile. "That's for another time, Aizen-san. Until then...see you."
With that, he disappeared. I stared at (name) for a moment, until finally deciding what to do with her. I ripped off my sleeve.
(Your p.o.v)
I woke up, seeing that I'm in my bedroom. "Huh? Was all that just a dream?" I muttered, sitting up and rubbing my eyes.
Suddenly, I remembered Gin's chicken katsu gift. "Oh no, my delicious meal! Where did I put it?!"
The door slid open, and Aizen entered. I can't help but glare at him, even though it was all a dream.
He handed me the same mini cake box that contained Gin's gift. "You left this at the barracks, so I picked it up for you."
I slowly took it from him. "Thanks..."
He sat beside me. "Something the matter? You're not your usual self today."
He put the back of his hand on my forehead. "Hm? You're not sick either."
"It's nothing, really. I'm just not in the mood to do much of anything. Well, except eat this chicken katsu."
He sat down for a while until he stood up, leaving the room. "If you need anything...just tell me, okay?"
With that, he closed the door. I sighed and stared at the box. "But if it were a dream...why does it feel so real?"
I poked my abdomen to see if a wound was there. Sure enough, I felt a little pain.
So it really was real...
...even the words that Aizen had said.
I peered at my wound and saw a sleeve which is Aizen's size wrapped around it. "Huh?" I said, question marks floating around my head. (A/N: guys, this is just an expression.)
Then veins popped on my head. "What kind of evil person are you?!?! You beat the life out of me, then you treat me?!?! Are you even trying?!?!"
But then, I remembered something before all of that happened.
"I do like him."
I internally smacked myself. "What was I thinking?! I just confessed that I liked him?! After all that nonsense he has done and said?"
Well, I said that before I even knew any of his intentions, so....
I stood up, taking my chicken katsu with me, and decided to take a walk to refresh my mind. (Well, I occasionally took bites of food.)
"Does he like me back, then?"
Oh no, another random thought! Why am I thinking so much about Aizen anyway, arghhhh!!!!
I didn't know that I bumped into someone already, causing me to drop my food.
"My goodies!!! Hey, you nasty creep! You'd better-"
I glanced up to see Gin, a worried expression on his face. "Oh, if it isn't creep Ichimaru. Yeah, thanks for the chicken."
"We have ta talk, (name)." He said.
"Huhhhhh?! About what, Gin?" I asked, standing up as I picked up my food.
"Just come with me." He said.
I shrugged. "Whatever you say, then. This has to be important."
-timeskip-
He took me to his office in the Third Division barracks. "Okay, so I need ta ask ya somethin."
"Yeah, sure...sure...go on." I said, shoving a piece of chicken katsu in my mouth.
"Has somethin odd been goin on ta ya lately?"
I blinked. "Think so. Aizen...Aizen isn't himself today."
He frowned a little, which I have to say is a rare sight. "That's what I figured. I'll tell ya this, dontcha get too close ta Aizen-taichou."
"Why's that? He'll probably just pat my head or treat me to some food-"
"Please listen ta me, (name). Aizen-taichou is a man ya shouldn't get involved with. He's dangerous."
"Gin, maybe you're only tired-"
His eyes opened, which made me choke on my food. "I wouldn't want ya ta get hurt. Plus...didn't he slash you just earlier?"
My eyes widened. "How did you-"
"What an amusing conversation you have there, Gin, (name)."
I slowly turned my head, my heart pounding in my ears. "A-Aizen...."
He smirked. "Would you like to fill me in on the details?"
