I do not own Bleach. Yes, it is sad but that's the way things are.
This idea just came to me in the shower, as surprisingly most ideas for one reason or another do. I guess, its cause I was reading some fan fics and I noticed that no one really seems to like Hinamori. I felt bad for her, yeah, she's a little off the wagon but you know I think I'd be a little crazy too, if a hunk like Aizen slipped from my fingers. I wanted to write one where she isn't a complete loon. Though after writing this, I realized that, that is quite a task. I did my best. Well anyway, I'm not sure what this will become but we'll see.
Oh and there is a little GinxAizen yaoi in here, because that is how I roll. Its so light you probably won't even know its there.
And spoilers for Soul Society Arc and Save Rukia Arc. But honestly, what are you doing reading fan fiction if you haven't at least gotten that far. I mean honestly.
She hated him. She had always hated him. Maybe because Captain Aizen favored him so much. True, he was the lieutenant but, it also seemed to be more then that. She would watch them whenever she could.
Aizen would always give Lieutenant Ichimaru such a kind smile and run his hand threw the silver strands. "Well done Ichimaru," he would say in such a kind voice.
She didn't know why their relationship angered her so much. She really didn't. She should in fact be grateful to Lieutenant Ichimaru. He had saved her, and her friends.
"Whatcha' doin?" asked a voice.
"Renji-kun!" she squeaked. "Don't sneak up on me like that."
He grinned at her. "Are you spyin on Captain Aizen?" he asked.
Her cheeks turned a pale pink. "No! I'm just watching him."
Renji's smile widened. "Does he know that your watching him?"
She looked down at her feet as her blush darkened. "Well, no,"
"Then I think that counts on spyin'," he chuckled.
"It's not!" she gave her red haired friend a determined look. "I'm looking out for him!"
"Oh?" Renji crossed his arms. "How do you figure? He's a captain, Hinamori, I don't think he needs you to be looking out for him."
"It's the people closest to you that are more likely to betray you. And I don't trust Ichimaru. But Captain Aizen does. He's blinded my his fondness for him. So I will keep watch over my Captain." she turned around to watch the captain and lieutenant again.
"You haven't heard?"
She turned back to Renji again. "Heard what?"
"Ichimaru is gonna get promoted in a few days time. The third company has been empty for quite some time. So Ichimaru is in the runnin to get it,"
Hinamori's eyes lit up. "He'll be gone! Ichimaru will be gone!"
"My, my," said a soft voice from behind them.
With a surprised squeak Hinamori turned to see a familiar smile and squinted eyes.
"Hinamori-chan, you know better. Its Lieutenant Ichimaru,"
"Yes, of course, Lieutenant Ichimaru, my apologies," she bowed her head in apology.
"Abarai-kun" the silver haired man turned his attention to Renji. "You are being positioned else where."
"Eh?" was the response, "But I was hoping to apply for your position, sir,"
The smile of the Lieutenant grew wider. "I don't even have the captain's seat yet and people are already linen up for my spot."
"I didn't mean any-"
The thin man waved his hand. "Think nothing of it. Not every day that a lieutenants seat opens up. Regardless, my seat won't be filled by you. Your goin' off to the eleventh squad,"
Renji and Momo both looked at the thin Lieutenant with a frightened expression.
"Now, don' give meh that look. It'll be good for ya and build character and all that."
"Would you ever go to the eleventh squad, Lieutenant?" asked Hinamori.
"Of goodness no," the smile faltering slightly. "Their a pack of wild animals," Ichimaru's smile fell back in place. "But you'll do fine Abarai-kun. Now off ya go Eleventh Captain-san is expectin ya." He waved a hand shooing the red haired man.
A forced smile appeared on Renji's face. "Its been an honor to serve under you and Captain Aizen. He bowed to the silver haired man then gave Hinamori's shoulder a light squeeze. Silently wishing her the best.
The young girl watched her friend walk away. Squad eleven? Sure Renji was a bit hot headed and yes, he mouthed off more then he should of but to send him to squad eleven?
"Whose idea was it to send Renji to squad eleven?" she looked back at her superior.
There was a slight pause between them. Ichimaru gave her a big smile, bigger then normal. "Mine, of course."
Hinamori's hands twitched towards her sword. This man was a monster. A snake. A wolf in sheep's clothing. He was going to devour her poor captain. Only she could see threw him.
"Ichimaru," said a kind voice. "Did you send Abarai-kun away already. I never had a chance to say goodbye."
She smiled as Captain Aizen walked up to them.
"Sorry Captain. I already sent him on his way."
The bi-speckled man frowned. "Well I hope he does well there."
Hinamori looked up at her captain with such admiration. Captain Aizen was so kind, and he cared for everyone.
"Oh yes, Hinamori-chan." he smiled at her. "You probably know, but our dear Lieutenant may be leaving us in a few days time." He patted Ichimaru's head gently. "If he does leave us I'll be out a lieutenant. I was wondering, if you would be interested in taking his position."
Hinamori's eyes sparkled in delight. "Of course Captain Aizen. It would be such an honor."
"I'm glad to hear it. These are big shoes to fill but I know you can do it."
Momo smiled. She knew she'd be a better Lieutenant the Ichimaru ever was. He may be stronger then her, but he was also a slacker when it came to paper work. She would work harder then he ever had. She would make Aizen proud of her. And now that she was Aizen's second she could keep a close eye on him.
---
And she did. She never left his side unless she had too. She tried not to though. He was impossible to find when he did leave her sight. She would then panic if she couldn't find him.
"Kira-kun!" she cried one afternoon. She ran to her kind blonde friend.
"What's the matter Hinamori-chan he asked, already knowing her problem.
"I can't find Captain Aizen."
On most days, Kira would not have and answer to this question. Today however he did know.
"He's having lunch with my captain today, Captain Ichimaru said that they didn't want to be disturbed."
"He's with Captain Ichimaru!" she cried. With an iron grip she grabbed Kira's wrist. "Where, where are they?"
Kira smiled weakly at her. "No, you see, they don't-"
A spark of madness was showing in Hinamori's dark brown eyes. "Where are they?"
"In my captain's office," he said quietly. Regretting the words as they left his mouth.
Hinamori quickly ran towards the third squad. Her captain was alone with Ichimaru. He could be doing something terrible to her poor captain. She only hoped that she wasn't to late.
"Hinamori-chan!" called Kira chasing after her.
"I have such a headache," Aizen sighed resting his head on Gin shoulder. His eyes narrowed as he heard the silver man chuckle.
"Guess I should thank ya then. Izuru is such a good boy. So quite and does all my work. I just nap in the office all day long,"
Aizen lifted his head of the bony shoulder to look at the silver haired man. "Don't start getting lazy, Gin."
Gin opened his eyes slightly. "Are you gonna waste our precious time together by complainin' bout you Lieutenant?" He wrapped his thin arms around the older man.
Aizen smiled looking into the scarlet eyes. He ran a hand threw the silky silver locks.
Gin was sitting on his paper work free desk. Aizen standing comfortly between the thin mans legs. These rare but precious moments were all that kept him sane. It would all be worth it in the end. He leaned forward to kiss the soft thin lips in front of him.
"Captain Aizen!" cried Hinamori flying into the office Kira right behind her.
The was a crack and a small yelp of pain.
The two lieutenants looked over at the two captains.
Aizen was rubbing his head which had smashed into Ichimaru's nose when the two lieutenants barged in. The force of the blow, of course, breaking the thin noise.
Gin was holding his nose trying to keep the blood from spilling onto his captain's coat.
"Oh! Gin," Aizen said, at last realizing Ichimaru's situation. Not quite sure what to do with the poor man. Tears were appearing at the corners of the squinted eyes.
"Kiba! Meh tobd ya not at leb anybody in bere,"
Between Gin's accent and the broken nose, Aizen had no idea what his dear fox was saying.
"Captain!" cried Kira running up to his captain. The awkward position that Aizen and Ichimaru were in wasn't even noticed. "Let me see,"
Aizen smiled as Gin shook his head not letting Kira get close to the broken nose.
"Will you help me, sir?" Kira asked Aizen. "I can heal this, but only if I can see his nose."
Hinamori watched the scene. Captain Ichimaru was the one that was hurt? But that didn't make any sense. She watched as Aizen and Kira fought with the squirming Ichimaru.
"There," said Kira at long last the green light diapering from his fingertips. "Is your head okay Captain Aizen? I can heal that too, if you'd like."
"No I'm fine Kira-kun but thank you." he sighed looking over at Gin. "You're nose is fine, now, Ichimaru."
Gin still brooding on his desk was still covering his face still not convinced that his nose was in its normal condition.
Aizen sighed rubbing his temples giving a disapproving look at his own lieutenant.
"Lieutenant Hinamori," he said sternly. She flinched. She had never heard him use that tone of voice. Not to her, not to anyone. "I am very disappointed with you."
She felt tears start to build up. He was disappointed with her?
"You know better then to barge into a captains office."
"But I didn't know where you-"
"I was having lunch with my old lieutenant. I too, need time to myself. I can't get work done with you always by my side, pestering me."
"I'm sorry," she said tears falling from her eyes. "I'm just looking out for you."
"Hinamori I am a captain. You are a lieutenant. I can look after myself just fine."
He stared down at her as she cried and sputtered out apologies. He looked over at Gin and Kira. The young blonde was trying to clean up his captain, but Ichimaru was having none of it. He could've sworn he had heard a hiss from the silver haired man.
And he still had a terrible headache.
Since the incident in the third squads office Hinamori had done her best to keep at least a little distance from her captain but not too much. Ichimaru had been quite cold towards all of the fifth squad members, Aizen included.
From there it only seemed to escalate. Even others began to notice that the once close pair had grown apart.
It was all as Hinamori suspected. She was still sure that, Ichimaru was going to do something terrible to her captain. She watched in silence as bitter words were exchanged between the two.
When Ichimaru made his move to attack her captain she would be ready.
She loved her captain. She loved him dearly. With all the crazy things going on with Kuchiki-san and the intruders in Soul Society, she just felt compelled to be with her captain that night. To tell him her fears of all this, and to watch out for him. These were dangerous times after all.
But she failed.
She fell asleep.
And when she awoke. He was dead.
She failed in her mission as a Lieutenant.
Her eyes widened as she saw a smirking figure making small of her dead captain. Him. Ichimaru. He had killed her captain.
In a rage she attacked him. Her only thought was of avenging her captain. Only to be stopped by her friend, Kira. And then her smaller friend, Toshiro.
The pain in her stomach where he stabbed her. Her own blood pooling around her. Her vision slowly fading. But she could still see them. Ichimaru and Captain Aizen. The looks they exchange with each other. The hand running threw the silver hair.
Aizen never touched her like that. Aizen never looked at her with such love.
Someone was talking. Toshiro? She wasn't sure.
"Gin, is the only one I've ever considered my Lieutenant."
She heard those words so clearly. As if they had been whispered into her own ear. And it hurt. It hurt so much. As her whole world turned back there was only one thing she could think.
This was all Ichimaru's fault. He had made Aizen do all these terrible things. And one way or another, she would make him pay.
A/N I really like this so far. Just a lot of recapping mostly. I want to continue, but where to go from here is going to take some thought. And the thought of all my other stories not finished makes me cringe a little. This was in my head and it needed to come out.
Please tell me how you like it. Reviews make me happy.
OH! And who else saw the epic filler on Tuesday? This is sooo much better then those crappy bounts. I'm so excited. Never been more excited for filler in my life lol
Only downside is of course no Gin and Aizen in this filler. At least I don't see why they would be there. But I would like to see what Shinso looks like.
