For the sake of revenge, lead us to death.

"Aizen," the woman uttered, as she walked toward the man bound on the chair in the deepest part of the aptly named Maggot's Nest. The man had been bound from head to foot, feared alike by Hollow and Shinigami. He had been sentenced to almost an eternity in the place.

"My lady," he smiled. "How are you little avispon?" The woman frowned as he chuckled softly. "I know you hate that nickname, but then again, remember that this place can drive anyone out of their wits."

She sighed conceding to the man's reason. "Busy," she frowned. "And you master?"

"As I have said," he smiled," it bores me." She couldn't see his smile, but she knew it was there. "I am surrounded by idiots."

"This is the Maggot's Nest," she spoke. "This a place of the rotting. I am sure that the Octava would have fitted in perfectly if not at the Twelfth Division then here."

"Hm, yes," Aizen spoke thoughtfully, "a very delightful place to get test subjects. I wonder, does Mayuri Kurotsuchi come here?"

"Yes," she spoke, affirming. "Every once in a while he comes here, if there there is a shortage of test subjects."

Aizen nodded. "I see, and you allow him?"

"With the personal approval of the Soutaicho."

"I see, I see," he smiled again. "So queen, when will you set me free?"

"Don't rush, Aizen," she smirked. "It's quite soon, you know. I've been organizing things. Just a little more wait."

"Don't worry," he smiled, "I'm not rushing you little avispon." He closed his eyes. "Tactical, as always."

"I, unlike you, am not arrogant, Aizen," she smirked taking a shot at the man who looked at her disdainfully. "I will take all necessary precaution that I can enforce." She chuckled. "And as you can see, it was a lot better that I stuck with them until the last moment, when the world is on the verge of collapse. It was a nice touch, however, letting us see the end of the world as we knew it. Too bad it didn't happen."

He closed his eyes again. "To tell you the truth, I never knew you would come around."

"Don't fool me with that crap," she smirked. "Don't make me laugh Aizen. I know you very well. I'm sure you planned it. Why would you waste your time, if you aren't sure I'd say yes?"

"True," he smiled. "But I had my doubts as well. I had thoughts my effort will go in vain. But... on the contrary... I was wrong. It's actually amusing that you, who didn't join me, is the one who is sticking up for me now, the only one who stayed."

"A god should never doubt himself," she smirked amused. Aizen, however, did not need to feel offended. She, though smirking, had said that to remind him of his place. "A god should never stoop to low as to doubt himself," she thought aloud. "If you were to be god, you should hold yourself high as you are stationed. As to me on the other hand, I am a creature who lives by deceit and clothes myself in darkness. I live in the darkness, and if people fought head-on, people like me would not exist."

"Yes, if it were your call, you would have ended the world before anyone knew."

"Correct," the woman smiled. "No one would ever know, yet we needed Kurosaki's power to complete it."

"Yes," he agreed, "but why was he able to defeat it? Was not I stronger than him?"

"I don't know, Aizen. I am not good with theories, and whatnot that doesn't relate directly with what I do."

"Practical as always little busy-."

"Of course," she snorted. "It is the only way I can survived, the only way I can survive, Aizen. Besides, it has rather served both of us well, hasn't it? However, there is nothing to worry. Everything is in motion, and Seireitei has to see the biggest treachery yet, my lord."

"The biggest treachery, of course," he smiled. "Ah, I cannot wait."
