I had this idea while back, like when I first read Bleach, like when Aizen was revealed to be a Villain and then went on to do a lot of things in the end made him act as if he was Treize Khushrenada, until he just became and evil butterfly.

Only recently did I get the idea that I would be able to write this story, hopefully I can do it justice

Please Review no flaming thanks.


Prologue

The young Shinigami now used a white cloth to clean the blood off his Zanpakuto, as soon as he had wiped all the blood off his blade he threw the cloth away and sheathed his sword. He looked up as he now heard a voice dripping with blood lust calmly stating to him "I knew my instincts were right when I requested your promotion to 3rd seat, Khushrenada-san."

The man who was was being address, turned and looked the one who had spoken to him. It was youthful looking woman with long black and gloomy looking eyes. Despite the sight of the woman being rather menacing the man named Khushrenada simply smiled in a friendly manner as he said "Thank for your most high praise, Kenpachi Taichō."

Like Khushrenada she wore a black Shihakushō, but unlike him she wore a white Haori over her initial uniform. With a rather dark chuckle she said "But of course, we have you to thank for this, whoever thought we could use the Quincy children as bait for a trap, I must say even I did not expect your calculations to be spot on."

To this Khushrenada simply stated earnestly "I take everything into account Taichou and I make sure I remember it, all of it."

His Taichō now gave nod of her head before she said "I'll be sure to remember that Khushrenada-san and I have to commend you for not letting your personal feelings interfere with your ability to perform on the field."

To this Khushrenada would have chuckled, except for the fact that he was in no mood for humour, instead he just said "There is no place for ones personal feelings while on the battle field."

To this his Taichou raised an eyebrow as she now looked him up and down before she shook her head "And here all of your fellows have told the tale that you are a man of unquenchable passion, I'm unable to see that in you."

To this Khushrenada just smiled as he said "But of course you don't, Taichō."

She gave another chuckle as she said "I see so at least I know it is true that those 5 words are your favourite words."

Khusrenada now raised an eyebrow himself before he asked "Taichō?"

But she spoke no more to him, turning to the side and walking away from the field corpses that they 11th Division had made. She did not truly grasp or understand all that Khushrenada had said, one thing she did grasp was that he was in terms of tactics and strategy, brilliant. He was not one to leave things unfinished and left nothing to chance, if they had taken any casualties. The Kenpachi Taichou would have been sure that Khushrenada intended for those Shinigami to die.

Khushrenada on the other stayed awhile to observe the slaughter ground, men, women and children all lay dead here. It went against his views and beliefs as a person to let such a dishonourable thing occur. But this war it was both pointless and necessary, the current leadership of the Gotei 13 needed to be see the futility of war.

Fighting against Hollows was an endless battle in itself, fighting here was something else entirely. He had told his Taichō that he takes everything into account and that he remembers it. What she did not know was that Treize Khushrenada her 3rd Seat, had taken it upon himself to learn the names of all the Quincy who perished this day because of him. He had done so in life and he would do so in death.


With Treize

890 year or more had passed since the Quincy War and Treize Khushrenada was no longer part of the 11th Division, but he was a 3rd seat. The former Fukutaichō of the 2nd had to say his farewells, he was going to be promoted to Taichō of the 12th Divison. Kisuke Urahara now looked at the man who had the 3rd seat of the 2nd Division before their current Taichō of the 2nd Division had been in 2nd Division.

Now trying to be friendly Urahara said "Well it seems that I will be off Khushrenada-sama, do take care of Yoruichi since I won't be here to do so."

To that Treize just let a little smile cross his lips before he said "Soon to be Taichō Urahara, I be honest with you, I am not sure I can look after Yoruichi Taichō, the way you did, after all it is only right that those privileges be reserved for you or any one else who she takes a fancy to."

Urahara's did his best to smile through that as began to feel a little uncomfortable, trying to get past this he ignored it instead stating "Oh don't such stick in the mud, Yoruichi is sure to get you promoted to Fukutaichō."

To this Treize simply stated "But of course you'd-."

He was cut short but Urahara saying "Don't you but of course me, you and I but know that you are the best man for the job, I mean you smart your handsome, you do as you are ordered, you take the initiative, I swear you have dirty on all the Central 46 and every possible successor for the next 1000 years, in fact I am certain you have something on everyone, down to the students in the academy."

To this Treize tranquilly stated "I am unsure if that is compliment to my skills at information gathering or an insult to my integrity, that I would use my position to blackmail academy students, Soon-to-be Taichō Urahara."

Urahara had to cringe and the current title that Treize had assigned to him, so now with a sigh he said his final farewells to the Legendary Forever 3rd Seat, Treize Khushrenada, suspecting that his promotion was always shot down by someone above them.

But he decided to leave him a few words of warning "Oi Treiza-sama, you know you are the most wanted man by the whole of the Shinigami Women's Association."

Treize on his part since Urahara had already left didn't act surprised, he was already aware of their supposed secret meetings. How could he not when his own current Taichou was a senior member of it and they were part of the second division.

In truth though Treize did not think highly of his current Taichō, Yoruichi Shihōin merging the 2nd Division with Onmitsukidō division. This weakened the Gotei 13 since the Onmitsukidō answered to the central 46, people who Treize believed were of little worth even at their best.

This move by the Shihōin princess did however free him up meaning that despite the disadvantages this brought the Gotei 13 as whole it did allow him to move a lot more freely. Which was in the long run as well as the short term a major asset to him.

Strange, though it made sense for Urahara to be promoted, he had only recently become the Fukutaichō since Treize had set events to get rid of Marenoshin Ōmaeda his position, a real tragedy that. It wasn't that Ōmaeda was a terrible officer it was just that he was terrible for morale given his inclination to treat those note of noble birth poorly.

In Ōmaeda's defence he was part of the Onmitsukidō before it merged with the 2nd Division, still that was not a real excuse, and the circumstances of your birth did not define how well you did in the Gotei 13. Given what they were originally like, such an attitude would have got him killed, it was indeed tempting, but Yamamoto Soutaichō despite everything had gotten soft, real soft, not even a shadow of the demon he had once been. It was good thing then that Treize himself never did.


Chōjirō Tadaoki Sasakibe the Fukutaichō of the 1st division was pleasantly surprised when he saw Treize waiting for him. While Chōjirō knew that Treize and Yamamoto never saw eye to eye, he could appreciate the 2nd divisions 3rd seat since the two of them had similar taste in regards to tea, something Chōjirō and his Taichō frequently disagreed on.

"Treize" he greeted his friend in a cheerful manner as he walked up to him "I have found this new brew of western tea that humans use, I was wondering if you would like to come and see what it taste like with me since you also appreciate these sort of thing."

Treize gave a polite smile and shook his head "Chōjirō Fukutaichō" he addressed Chōjirō signalling that he was currently on duty meaning that he would not be able to come.

Chōjirō gave a sigh at this "you know it seems that in the last few years that you have had almost little to no free time at all." While 'last few years' was one hell of an understatement since Treize had not had much off duty time for close to half a dozen decades, Chōjirō was choosing not to be overly dramatic about it.

His words were met with an amused smile, despite knowing Treize for close to a thousand years Chōjirō still felt that he could not tell what went through his friends head. "Currently there is no one watching us" Treize stated surprising him.

"Why would either of us be watched?" Chōjirō asked narrowing his eyes in confusion before the answer hit him in full force as he was given a reply.

"The Onmitsukidō answer to the Central 46, they monitor almost everyone" Treize answered. He was also referring to how they had recently joined with the second division replacing many of the seated and unseated officers, forget about what they did to the rank and file of the 2nd division.

Now that he thought about it Chōjirō was inclined to believe that Treize may have been one of the few senior seated officers not to lose their seat, when it occurred. It seemed that they even monitored the Gotei 13 but that was to be expected. "You suspect that they are trying to expand their sphere of influence?"

"That has never needed to be suspected" Treize replied. Chōjirō knew that it was as clear as day or night, but sometimes a man could hope. Given that they now had spread their influence into the Gotei 13 via the Onmitsukidō merging with the 2nd division which would allow them to undermine the Gotei 13.

In truth Treize was far too good to be demoted which is why he had stayed, Chōjirō also was aware that he reported to Yamamoto all of the 2nd divisions activities since the merge. Which only meant that since Treize and the Soutaichō did not get along well, he had to give his reports to another. This too was useful since the friction between Treize and the Yamamoto made it all but impossible to suspect that he would be reporting anything to him.

Not another word was spoken as Treize took out a small easily concealable scroll and handed it to Chōjirō, who nodded and walked off. While Yoroichi Shihōin was at least somewhat trustworthy and would most likely not bend that easily to the Central 46, she was still the one who integrated the 2nd division and the Onmitsukidō, and they had other officers who were not as reliable.


With Yoroichi

Yorochi was now looking at several sets of papers, since the 2nd Division merged with the Onmitsukidō, they were doing their promotions internally, which in turn gave her freedom to whom she would promote. She wanted to promote someone she could trust, her little bee was the last resort if it came to that. While she could trust the little bee, the little bee herself was still inexperienced.

Urahara had been a good Fukutaichō despite the very short time he had been hers. Before that was Marenoshin Ōmaeda whom she knew had undying loyalty to her. Circumstance within his clan had forced him to give up the position and retire, in fact several clans were hit during that time with some scandals.

The Central 46 had her hush it all up, but some of things she had to hush up were disturbing to say the least. While there were plenty of candidates for the role, there was one that stood out. Treize Khushrenada, the man with a most bizarre name and more than, the fact that she couldn't read the man.

He was well loved by most of the 2nd Division before she had become Taichō and merged Onmitsukidō. He was still well liked by all his fellows even after the merge. But due to due to some hidden charisma he had, most of her own Divison would take their problems to him. Worse yet was that all problems that were not about Officers above him in rank, Treize usually would fix them.

But if she did not promote him, many eye brows would be raised in her direction. He did have an impeccable, for literally everything, it was long record and that was for his feats in the 2nd Division alone. Due to her position as head of the Onmitsukidō, she had heard more rumours than most was that head been Unohana Taichō's 3rd seat.

Though admittedly she found that to be very unlikely due to the fact that Treize had showed no talent with healing at all. But then again, she had never seen him fight even once while she had been in the 2nd Division, this meant she had never seen his Shikai and was unsure if he even had one, he was a 3rd Seat after all.

But she did have one way left open to her and that was to go to Unohana Taichō and ask the head of the 4th Division herself if he had truly been her 3rd Seat at one point. And then only if he had been her 3rd Seat would Yoroichi ask her if he had her Shikai if anyone was to know it would be her since the previous head of the 2nd's untimely demise.

With Unohana

Unohana the Taichō of the 4th Division was now sitting down sipping tea as she looked at the Captain of the 2nd Division. Softly she asked "Is there anything that you desired to discuss in particular Shihōin Taichō, can I assume that it has to do Khushrenada-san?"

Yoroichi gave a polite nod as she said "That is the exact reason I am here, Unohana Taichō, my current Fukutaichō is about to become the Taichō of the 12th Division and I need to fill my 2nd Seat, since events forced my previous Fukutaichō."

Unohana for her part just smiled a little bit and narrowed her eyes "If it was just down to experience, talent and skill, I must apologise for there would be no choice but Khushrenada-san."

To this Yoroichi asked her a question of her own "If is as you state, the only option available to me, why did you not promote him, Unohana Taichō."

With a smile still on her face, Unohana closed her eyes as she stated "Because he was transferred to the 2nd Division before I could promote him, you however do not have such an obstacle in front of you, the obstacle you face is trust."

It was true that trust was the major issue that was going on here, Treize for all records had one that made most if not all Shinigami jealous. Yoroichi now chose to ask "Can he be trusted, Unohana Taichō?"

In reply to this Unohana just asked her "Can you be trusted Shihōin Taichō, you may not trust him because he was a veteran officer of the 2nd Division before you were made Taichō. Let me ask you Shihōin Taichō, what do you know of Treize Khushrenada, what do you know of your 3rd Seat."

Yoroichi simply stated "He's been there for a long time, he is good at his job and is popular with most of my own Division, he hands in all reports on time, never early or late and his track record is perfect and both us are well aware that he is the most wanted man by the Shinigami's Women's Association."

In reply Unohana simply said in a very familiar tone "But of course you'd say that."

Yoroichi jumped up as she could not restrain herself when the epiphany hit here "I knew it, he really was your 3rd Seat!"

She then recalled whom she was talking to and sat down quickly as she apologised for what she just did "My apologies for the sudden outburst Unohana Taichō."

Unohana chuckled a little before she raised an eyebrow opening her eyes and asking "Do you believe he got that off me or that I may have taken that off him?"

This was a trap if Yoroichi ever knew one, and given her occupation she most definitely did "Khushrenada-san does do it with a certain flair doesn't he?"

If the 4th Taichō was displeased with Yoroichi changing the subject to avoid answering that question then she chose not to show it, in any form. "Why yes, I find that elegance he puts into it to be rather endearing" Unohana answered.

"I would describe it differently" Yoroichi disagreed, to her it was rather insufferable, as if Treize was taunting that he knew something you didn't, and for it it seemed to be obvious to him at the very least.

Unohana seemed to know what Yoroichi was referring to "I do not believe he intends to get under your skin like that" the 4th Taichō stated "though I am not sure how people are able to take offence to what he says, after all he is the epitome of a gentlemen."

Perhaps Unohana was just too terrifying to be irritated by Treize's personality or perhaps she enjoyed his demeanour, which was also in itself terrifying. Though that last part definitely fit Treize a little too well "gentlemen he is" Yoroichi agreed "but he does have a way to infuriate people if he so desires."

"Oh of that I am well aware" Unohana informed her "I rather enjoy watching him do it, it's quite therapeutic and it was a suggestion I gave him" truly and utterly terrifying indeed.

On her part Yoroichi was shocked "why?" was all she could say.

"It amused me" was the only reply she got "and he is rather good at it."

The head of the Onmitsukidō didn't know what to say, that it had been Unohana who had suggested for Treize to behave in such a manner truly was unexpected. She also seemed to have initially encouraged it from the way she had spoken.

It seemed that the Taichō of the 4th division was able to see how shocked Yoroichi really was "of courseI am merely joking" Unohana informed her making Yoroichi feel a little relieved. "Khushrenada-san has always been like that" that part however was not so reassuring.

"Then how did he ever make it to being a seated officer?" the Shihōin princess queried, while it was clear that Treize's behaviour amused the 4th Taichō there had to be more to it than that, otherwise he would not have been promoted or even transferred.

Unohana's gentle smile became a knowing one "because his record is exemplary, there is not a fault in his service with his track record being flawless. Which is also one of the reasons why it is rather impressive given the length of said record."

Yoroichi had briefly read Treize's record when she had become the head of the 2nd division and decided to merge it with the Onmitsukidō, however she had only read the most recent decade or so. Like Unohana had suggested the 2nd division Taichō knew it was longer, but she didn't know how long. From what her fellow Taichō was suggesting hinted at it being a very long record of service, one which she was being suggested to read, by one who had most probably read it.

"So at the end of it you would recommend that I promote him to second seat and make him my fukutaichō" Yoroichi summarised from what she had gotten from Unohana, which surprisingly wasn't much. The Shihōin princess knew that there were things the Unohana was deliberately not telling her, but she didn't know why. This was something she intended to find out.

Unohana nodded "most definitely" the Taichō of the 4th division answered "he is reliable and you can count on him to be dedicated to his duty."

Now came the big question that Yoroichi had yet to ask, though from the way the conversation had went it seemed that it may not have been needed. "Do you know if Khushrenada-san possesses a Shikai?"

"You haven't seen it?" Unohana replied before chuckling "but of course you haven't seen it" she corrected herself. "There has been no reason for him to use it recently" the Taichō of the 4th stated.

This did confirm for Yoroichi that either her fellow Taichō was covering for Treize or that her 3rd seat really did have a Shikai. It also confirmed that the senior Taichō was also playfully teasing her ever so slightly, scratch that Unohana was going out of her way to only pretend to be subtle. The 4th Taichō was very much openly teasing her, with Yoroichi's 3rd seat's most frequent line. "Can you tell me what it does?" Yoroichi asked hopefully, without showing that she was eager to discover what her mysterious 3rd seat was capable of.

Unohana only smiled kindly at her "now that would be telling" she replied in a playful manner. While dashing Yoroichi's hopes of getting to know it without much effort.

To the 2nd Division Onmitsukidō Taichō this however was the 4th Taichō's way of telling her that it would not be that easy for her to discover it. "Thank you Unohana Taichō for sharing that with me, as we both know it is important" Yoroichi said with a polite bow, in a small attempt to get her fellow to reveal anything else.

"Always a pleasure to aid my fellow Taichō's" the Taichō of the 4th division replied, informing Yoroichi that this was all she was getting. Leaving the 2nd Taichō with more questions to her third seat and possible fukutaichō than answers, answers she as intent on getting.

There were two possible paths that could Toroichi saw open to her, the first was to just plain up ask Treize what his Shikai was and what it did. She was pretty sure that was not a smart move since he'd more than likely say "But of course you'd don't know" and whenever he said that, Yoroichi was sure everyone except clearly Unohana got ticked off.

The other option was to test Treize out and engage him in combat, if what Unohana Taichō had implied was anything to go by, she may not want to see it. That or it was not very useful and only would appear during very limited and situational circumstances.

If she was to choose one, she would have to rule out the other and both could lead to the same result of her either refusing to tell her or just plain refusing to show her. Yet she did have one option available to her though it would take some time to persuade him to tell her of Treize's Shikai. But if the fukutaichō of the 1st Division did not tell her of what his Shikai did, then she knew something was up with it.

She was not head of the Onmitsukidō for nothing and was aware or rather made sure to find out that Treize did at least have a friend in fukutaichō of the 1st Division. She did not know if they met often or if they met at all, but she did learn that they were friends. That meant he may know and if she said his promotion depended on it, he'd be more willing to share what Unohana Taichō was not.
