Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Bleach. If I did I probably would have sicced Zaraki on someone by now.

Aizen's POV

Even though none could see it, fifth division Lieutenant Sosuke Aizen was excited. A prodigy in the Shino Acadamy was shaping up to be the perfect pawn. One Toshiro Hitsugaya had effortlessly mastered six years of material in just under four months and was currently waiting for exams. Aizen had seen the boy occasionally in between classes but had never really spoke to him. Unfortunately the Toshiro hadn't taken Aizen's class, but Aizen had been able to analyze him in secret until he knew nearly everything about the prodigy.

As he walked towards Hitsugaya's living space Aizen continued to think about the boy. "He is exceptional" Aizen thought. "He is not only powerful, he is intelligent enough to use that power. Despite all this he will be so easily controlled. He is just an outcast looking for a friend. He will probably do anything I ask. " Unbidden, images of Aizen's own time in the Acadmy came to mind as he opened the door.

Hitsugaya's POV

Toshiro Hitsugaya had never able to connect with his peers.

He would often talk of experiences and techniques they couldn't understand at their level, but being only a child who wanted to save his grandmother he couldn't even understand the skill difference. Even before the Shino Academy he had always been an outcast. The children had always complained about the cold when in his presence and the adults had avoided him when his appetite became apparent.

Toshiro sighed, "I wish I was at home. Then I would have watermelons and Momo instead of boredom and loneliness." Hyunomaru had been taken away after Hitsugaya had injured accidently injured a student who had sought to 'dethrone the brat.' Sighing once more Hitsugaya turned to the advanced textbooks that had become his friends after he had mastered the entire first year course within his first week. Thought's of his sister and only friend Momo ran rampant as the door opened...

A/N: Yay I did it! This plot bunny had been nagging me for a year. Since Im obsessed with anime at the moment My other fic The First Son of Hades is on indefinite hiatus. And yes Aizen and Hitsugaya will form a strong bond. In my mind Aizen will will realize the equal he sought for in Ichigo could in fact be Hitsugaya. Anyways in this AU Hitsugaya and Momo entered the Academy before Aizen betrayed Shinji. (Mostly because I love Shinji :) Read and Review.
