This fanfiction tells about the Soul Society arc from Aizen and co.'s side of view.
I DO NOT own Bleach and anything that appears in this story.
OUTSIDE OF THE ILLUSION
Prolog
Chamber 46
A shape of shadow slowly went down the stairs. His eyes revolved around the room as his soft steps touched the floor. His stare then fixed at another shape who was holding a blade, right across the room.
The first person, known as Ichimaru Gin, Sanbantai Taichou, approached that man. "She's already here. Rokuban Taichou-san and his amazing fukutaichou did a very good job."
"I know. Why do you think I'm here?" replied that man. "Well, that's exactly why we chose them, right?"
"Anyway, in honor of their great effort," he continued, "I think we should give them a proper response. We shouldn't postpone the decision too long. Ah, I mean," he turned his head back, to the supposed to be members of Chamber 46, who now lied on their seats, covered by bloods, "they shouldn't."
Aizen Sousuke, Gobantai Taichou, smiled.
Ichimaru followed his eyes. "Looks pretty messy. Maybe we should clean it."
"And why would we do that?"
"Well, like I said, it looks pretty messy."
Aizen stared at him. "And that bothers you?"
There's a pause for a while.
And then, with an un-understandable smile, Ichimaru whispered, "It's just... it's... kinda sad."

Chapter 1
It's official. As the order that was given by Aizen Sousuke, who along with Ichimaru Gin and Tousen Kaname disguised as the Chamber 46, Kuchiki Rukia would be executed in 30 days in the Soukyouku Hill. It's only a matter of time until Hyougoku which was hidden inside Rukia's soul became Aizen's possession.
In the meantime, Kurosaki Ichigo and his friends, guided by Yoruichi, were on their way to Soul Society. Aizen had suspected this, off course; since, after all, it was Urahara Kisuke who made the Hyougoku. In any way, Urahara had to stop the execution, and it's by sending Ichigo and his friends to Soul Society to save Rukia.
As a response to this matter, Aizen had conducted so that Ichimaru would be there when Ichigo and co. reached the Seireitei's gate.
"Do not kill them! Just prevent them from passing the gate!" Aizen told Ichimaru.
And so he did. He set his foot there exactly when Jidanbo was about to let Ichigo passed in, as a statement of admitting his defeat. In a glimpse of an eye, Ichimaru cut Jidanbo's left arm. And after shooting his Shinsou towards Ichigo who quickly held it back with Zangetsu, Ichimaru managed to do as Aizen told him.
"Byebye!" Ichimaru waved his hand to Ichigo and his friends as the gate closed itself.
Ichimaru smiled, and then turned around leaving the gate. "Now, now... what should I do... what should I do... Ah, I know! Let's find Izuru!"
Ichimaru walked away, not knowing (or pretend not to?) that Abarai Renji, Rokubantai Fukutaichou, had been watching him.

"So, everything flows exactly according to our plan."
Aizen was standing in one side of the room which is located inside the Chamber 46. Ichimaru stood on his side.
"Your plan, Aizen Taichou," Ichimaru corrected his words. "Kaname and I simply do as you say. I don't think that deserves a credit in such a way."
"Aren't you being modest, Gin?"
"Nope. Trust me, modest definitely ain't my word."
Aizen smiled. "Whatever."
"Anyway, Aizen Taichou, since they're going to ask help from the great Shiba Kuukaku, what are we going to do now until their second most likely successful arrival?"
"Well, let me see... we'll sit, we'll chat behind the shadow, round around and fool everyone as usual." Aizen looked at Ichimaru and nodded, "Yup, that's what we're going to do."
"Aw, that's so boring!" Ichimaru wheezed. "Oh yes, when are you going to die, Aizen Taichou?"
"Why?" Aizen raised his eyebrows. "You can't wait to see me die, Gin?"
"Can't wait act as a villain."
"And I thought you already are."
"That's pretty mean, Aizen Taichou."
"All you have to concern now is the fact that Soutaichou will definitely conduct a meeting special just for you."
"I guess so," Ichimaru put on a troubled face, "I don't know what to do."
"Just act as you usually do. I will make sure nothing will be done on you."
"Should I be grateful for that?"
"Not now. You're now still on the edge of the hill, Gin."
"You just took away the lights covering my soul. So mean, Aizen Taichou."
Aizen ignored that. "And don't forget about the little drama we're going to play."
Aizen walked to the door. "Well, Enough talking. We should go back to our own place. Kaname will be here soon. So, we better leave. Anyway, I also have some business with our dear Abarai-kun."
"Yes, Aizen Taichou!"
Ichimaru followed him, and the room is left empty.
