Graduation was only a few hours away. The Shinigami-in-training were sizing up their shihakushô against their fellow students, some were still practicing their kidô and showing off what they had learned over the years.
Captain Aizen stood on the balcony above the ceremonial grounds, eyeing each and every student that walked beneath him. His sight was particularly on three students: Renji Abarai, Izuru Kira and Momo Hinamori.
The three of them were the ones who were involved with the Huge Hollow incident a few years back, when training agaisnt dummy hollows in the real world went seriously awry. When the upperclass man, Shuuhei Hisagi, had told all of the students to run to safety after two comrades had been murdered by a dangerous and oversized hollow, those three still stayed behind and fought back. It was even said that they had saved Shuuhei's life.
Aizen smirked to himself as he recollected that night. The redhead, blonde and brunette all showed great loyalty. He could use subordinates like them. His former Vice-Captain (now Captain of the 3rd Division), Gin Ichimaru had already shown great interest in Izuru, the blonde one. Files had already been filled out to make the young boy his Vice-Captain for the 3rd Division.
It was now Aizen's turn to select a new Vice-Captain from the large group of potential graduates. Of course, he ignored all of the other students of the class and lowered his choices down to two: Renji and Momo.
Renji showed great power and skill in fighting, but he also showed signs of rebel and resistance. Someone of that demeanor was best suited for the 11th Division, which was rumored to where the redhead was directed.
That just left Momo. The small girl didn't seem like much, but she was quite powerful, despite her appearance. The night of the Huge Hollows, when Aizen had rested his hand upon her head, her eyes seemed to light up with admiration and affection. The 5th Division Captain could sense the loyalty the girl emitted and his decision was then made.
After watching the three friends for a few minutes longer, Aizen trailed off to the Central 46 Chambers.
"Momo Hinamori? Are you sure? She's only just graduating," one of the members looked at the Captain with a skeptical glance.
"I'm sure," Aizen peered through the rims of his glasses. "She'll be quite helpful for my plans in the future."
A/N: Just a quick little fanfic I felt like writing. xDD; I'm not a big Aizen fan.. not at all, but I liked the idea of the story. x3 Reviews/comments are welcome. :D
