Okay before we start - I do NOT own bleach or any of the songs.
This first chapter is for my beta Crazyfeatherhead.
But if anyone else likes it - I shall appreciate any feedback you decide to feed to this starving writer.
Chapter 1: Bad
It was quite late in the evening and Aizen and co were enjoying a drink – well okay, many drinks – in a small, if not seedy, bar on the outer edge of London. There were many others there also, including Szayel, Ulquiorra, Kira and others, all of whom were wearing clothes from the real world.
Everyone was drinking and having fun, when about halfway through the night the DJ turned on the karaoke machine and beckoned the people to sing. And so, this began numerous attempts at performing the songs from the drunken audience. The first of which was Sousuke Aizen.
"Go on Aizen, I dare ya. Somethin' by Michael Jackson."
"Very well Gin I accept your dare." Aizen stated as he then staggered quite drunkenly up to the microphone. Then yelling out something incoherent to the DJ regarding his choice of song. He then took one final hit from his cigarette before extinguishing it beneath his foot just as the music started playing.
He grabbed the microphone just after he had altered his hair to its post-betrayal style and then started to sing with the utmost professionalism. Considering he was halfway towards drunk.
Your butt is mine
Gonna take you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight
I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't shoot to kill
Come On, Come On,
Lay it on me all right...
He glared at his enemies in the audience: namely Kurosaki Ichigo and all of the other shinigami from the Soul Society that were now giving him disapproving looks as he sang. No doubt that he was singing this to all of the people who had little respect for him…
He would show them. He would show them all.
I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be . . .
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about
If anyone said that he was not enjoying himself then they would indeed be lying. Aizen, singing about being bad… of course he would love doing that. The plain white t-shirt, dark denim jeans and black converse trainers he was wearing did wonders for his image. Having a decent singing voice as well probably also contributed. Undoubtedly, this song suited him. He was really getting into it.
Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I get through . . .
His voice did have an uncanny sound to it, much like the original artist of the song. Aizen thought that he must have liked singing about being bad as well. Well, Aizen was going to use this song to illustrate a point. And to prove to Gin, and everyone else for that matter, that he could in fact sing. Even Yamamoto was impressed by this point.
Because I'm bad, I'm bad-
Come on
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad-
You know it
(Bad Bad-Really, Really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad-
Come On, You Know
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
Who's bad . . .
Now breaking out into a dance - a seemingly rehearsed dance - Aizen began to emphasise the movements of his hands and feet. Practically strutting around the stage now and doing a fairly accurate Michael Jackson impersonation. Dancing and shaking his hips as he sang. He twirled around on the spot again and smacked out his arms with his head facing to the right and looking down. He then resumed singing again.
The word is out you're doin' wrong
Gonna lock you up before too long,
Your lyin' eyes gonna take you right
So listen up don't make a fight,
Your talk is cheap you're not a man
You're throwin' stones to hide your hands
But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
And my friends you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through . . .
He really was enjoying himself. Or at least Gin thought so anyway, and so did the masses of his fangirls. All of which were going wild as Aizen danced like Michael Jackson. The security guards were having a hard time restraining some of them from clambering onto the stage and dancing with him. The crowd absolutely loved it. Sousuke was pouring everything into this performance, enthusiastically hitting every note and smirking his signature grin. Trying to prove a point.
Because I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
Come On (Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
You Know It
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
You Know It, You Know
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
And The Whole World Has To Answer Right Now
Just To Tell You Once Again,
Who's Bad . . .
Momo, who was also in the audience, looked even more mesmerised than the many fangirls that were there. She just sat there as if in some sort of trance. Completely hypnotised by Aizen and his sultry voice, as he danced and sang and moonwalked his way across the stage. Making every single one of his many, many fangirls scream in delight. Then like a woman possessed, she started to shove past everyone in an attempt to get to be near Aizen. Yelling such profanities as she shoved past them all as Toshiro looked at the scene, unimpressed.
We Can Change The World Tomorrow
This Could Be A Better Place
If You Don't Like What I'm Sayin'
Then Won't You Slap My Face . . .
Because I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
Come On
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
You Know It
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad-
You Know It, You Know
(Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad)
He then went into what looked like a well rehearsed and well choreographed dance routine, consisting of many leaps and hand movements, much like in the original artists numerous music videos. He also flicked his hair once of twice for good measure. He then grabbed his crotch with one hand and threw the other one into the air and thrusted forward in a classic Jackson style amateur impression. Then proceeding to moonwalk (properly) the rest of the way across the stage and twirl in front of the microphone stand just in time for the end of the musical interlude. Momo had fainted by this point.
Woo! Woo! Woo!

(Just To Tell You Once Again)
Who's Bad?
Aizen quickly turned to the audience again for that last line and then waited a few moments before walking off the stage, very satisfied with the reaction he got from the audience. Taking his seat next to Gin he then asked rhetorically,
"Well, was that good enough for you?"
