Hypnosis

Chapter 1: Izuru

This has nothing to do with Aizen's zanpakto unless you're wondering. I do NOT own Bleach.

'Aizen taicho's returnin' from de world of de living today.' thought Gin, as he shunpoed to the senkaimon to greet him.

'I wonder wha he'll bring meh?' he wondered as he thought back to when he was Aizen's fuko-taicho. Whenever he went to the world of the living, he'd bring something back for Gin. A few times sit was candy and toys. Last time it was a poker set. Gin got really hooked on poker after that. He arrived at the senkaimon just as Aizen stepped out.

"Ah. Gin. It's nice to see you again." said the charming captain.

"Nice ta see ya too, Aizen-taicho." grinned the creepy captain.

"It sure is a beautiful day out." said Aizen as they started towards the fifth division barracks.

"Yep."

"Anything exciting happen while I was away?"

"Nope, none at all."

"That's good to hear." Said Aizen as he sat down at his desk. Just then, Momo barged into the room.

"Aizen-taicho! Welcome back! How was your mission?" greeted the petite girl.

"Hello Hinomori-kun. It's nice to be back. My mission went very well. How was division while I was away?"

Gin was getting impatient. He started to tap his foot.

"I'm glad to hear that. The division was fine in your absence. A few quarrels here and there, but other than that, just fine."

"Excellent. That reminds me, I have a gift for you Hinomori-kun." said Aizen reaching into a bag. He pulled out a small tea set and handed it to her.

"A-arigoto Aizen-taicho!" She exclaimed as she scurried out of the room.

"Is there something you wanted Gin?"

"Ah– no. I'll be taking my leave." Ichimaru said, slightly disappointed.

"Oh, I know what you wanted." said the brown haired man; as he bent down to shuffle though his bag. Gin started to bounce on the balls of his feet.

"It may not be as fun as poker, but I hope you will still enjoy it."

The man handed Gin a box with black and white swirls on it. It read: HYPNOTISM. Gin's smile grew. He shunpoed to his barracks to try out the new device. He was scanning through the directions when Izuru came in.

"Ah, Izuru! You're jus' in time ta help meh with this!" Gin exclaimed joyfully. Izuru gulped. Whenever Gin Ichimaru was this happy, well, let's just say you wouldn't want to be in ten miles of him.

"Come sit on the couch!" Izuru reluctantly sat down.

"Now, is there a certain problem ya need help with?"

"Excuse me?"

"Is there somethin' ya don't like about ya self?"

"Uhh... Are you alright Ichimaru-taicho?"

"Yep! Neva felt better!"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive Izuru. Now, answer the question."

"Umm... I suppose I don't like how I can't speak what's on my mind."

"Excellent! Now, just sit back, relax, and watch the shiny object." Said Gin, as he pulled out a small, shiny watch, and started to sway it back and forth.

"Just keep ya eyes on the shiny object. Good. Now yer gonna get really sleep. Real sleepy..."

'Thunk' Izuru was out cold.

"Now, whenever you hear the word... Loyal, you shall become brave and cheerful. You will speak your mind. You will be more outgoing. Now... when I say so, you shall awaken. Awaken!"

"Huh? Wha? What just happened? I remember watching that watch, than nothing..."

"It's nothin' to fret your little head over. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?"

"Are you sure Ichimaru-taicho? I mean– I'm your luteneint and all so—"

"Just take the rest of the day off. You're such a LOYAL lutenient..." Izuru froze for a moment. There was a sort of buzzing sound, and then he stood up.

"Thank you very much Ichimaru-taicho. I wasn't so sure because I have so many responsibilities, but I realized I deserve a break. I shall be off now." Said Izuru as he left the room. Gin sat there shocked.

'It worked. It actually worked...' a smile spread across Gin's face. He was practically glowing. He looked at the small watch in his left palm.

"I wonder who my next victim should be." He murmured.

Elsewhere in the Sereitei...

"Oi! Shuhei!" shouted Kira as he entered the ninth division office. Hisagi looked up.

"Kira? What are you doing here?" He asked confused. Kira rarely came to visit him. He always went to him. Kira also never called him by his first name before.

"Ichimaru gave me the day off." He replied as he plopped into a chair.

"You mean your taicho? He gave you the day off? More importantly, you accepted it?"

"Yep. Something wrong with that?" Shuhei slowly shook his head no.

"No. Not at all. It's just... Are you feeling okay Kira?"

"To be honest, I've never felt better. I fell like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. You wanna go drinking?"

"Uh... sure... As long as you're okay..." replied Shuhei, still unsure.

"Great! Let's go get Rangiku!" exclaimed Izuru as he dragged Shuhei behind him.

Ten minutes later...

"Oi! Rangiku!" Kira shouted. They found the fukotaicho of the tenth division lazing on the couch while her captain was doing the paperwork. Rangiku bolted upright at her name.

"Kira? Shuhei? What are you doing here?"

"Ichimaru gave me the day off." exclaimed Izuru.

"You accepted? Are you alright? I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, but this abnormal behavior for you."

"I'm perfectly fine. Hey, you wanna go drinking with Shuhei and me?"

"I would—"

"Sorry. Matsumoto has some paperwork she has yet to complete." said the tenth division captain.

"But captaaainnnn!"

"Yeah. Lighten up Hitsugaya!" stated Izuru. The other three people in the room stared at him with astonishment. Hitsugaya even knew this was abnormal for Izuru. He was always a quiet and respectful lutenient. What had gotten into him? Izuru took that moment to snatch Matsumoto's hand and shunpo away.

"IZURU! Hitsugaya shouted. Passerbys were a bit confused as to why their captain was yelling at the quiet third division lutenient and not their own. They just shrugged it off and went on with their duties.

Don't worry, it will get better. Who should his next victim be? First person, who tells me, gets theirs first!
