Shinji walked down the halls of the prison, wondering how long it'd to get the chibi-fox to change his mind about his offer.

Shinji came to Ichimaru Gin's prison cell and stood by as a guard opened the door, stepping inside and standing in front of the child. "Heya, how's it going in this little cell here, seems awful lively." Shinji could tell the prisoner didn't find this joke amusing as he looked at the boy's face, his eyes, normally closed, were now narrowed, radiating pure hatred, his mouth, usually smiling, was fixed into an angry scowl. "Aww, come on, it was just a joke."

"Wasn't funny."

"…I guess you aren't really in the mood for jokes eh?"

"Why are ya here?"

"Well, that's simple…I've come to make you an offer."

"What kind o offer?"

"Well." Shinji put out a hand to Ichimaru, "The 5th division needs a lieutenant now, and you're the best candidate."

"I'm a traitor too ya know."

"Of course I know, I was there."

"So why would I help you?"

"Well, because I think you can change."

"That sure is a bad reason."
"Well then, how about this, you won't be executed if you join us, plus your record will be erased and we never have to talk about this incident again?" A silence ensued and Shinji stepped out of the cell, "Think about it, and if you decide, just tell a guard." He continued walking, and waved at Gin as he went.


'Ten days, tops." Shinji thought, exiting the prison, only to be greeted by a sandal to the face, "BAKA, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Shinji rubbed his forehead, where the toe of the lieutenant's foot had landed. "Where do 'ya think I was?" He stated, pointing at the prison.

"Oh…"

Shinji sat in the division barracks, thinking about how this whole thing had started, or perhaps, what had led to its ending so quickly.

Shinji yawned as he walked to an emergency captain's meeting, 'god.' He thought, 'It's an important thing that people are disappearing and all, but couldn't it wait till morning?" He then frowned, thinking about something even more serious, "I wonder if I might be right about Aizen…if so, is he behind all this?"

As he said this, he saw a note lying at his feet. "Hmm, what is this?" He leaned over, picking it up, and read it.

"To Captain Hirako Shinji,

I know you're concern with your lieutenant, Aizen Sosuke, and I urge you to express your concerns to someone. Make sure it is someone you trust though, for Aizen's lapdogs hide in odd places. No matter what, do not keep it to yourself, doing so will lead to your death, and the death of the others who suspect him, as well as several others in collateral damage. Do it quickly, as time is of the essence.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen.

'I guess the captain of the ninth division was a good person to tell.'

"So you think he's too perfect as well?" Kensei asked, looking back and forth to make sure his lieutenant had really gone, "I personally think he is in league with my third seat, Tosen, the little S.O.B is convinced he's justice, and I wouldn't be too surprised if he found Aizen the perfect playmate."

"Are you sure? I mean, if we're wrong, it could mean…"

"Being nervous about outcome isn't like you, if it was, Hiyori would hit you less. And besides," The gray haired captain shrugged, "If we keep quiet and we're right, who knows what might happen?"

"…okay, who should we tell?"

"Leak it out slowly, Rose and Love are probably two people you can trust, so I'd start with them, and if they get on your side, tell Unohana, she is definitely trustworthy, and since six captains is almost half the squads, you could force Captain Commander Yamamoto to consider the possibility, and then even if he doesn't believe us, and something happens to us, he'll know where to point the finger."

"I hope so."

"Yeah, yeah, anyways, I've got to get back to bed, seeing two captains talking in an alley at 5:00 A.M. would look kind of odd."

"Alright, see ya."

"Hopefully."


Author's note: I'm wondering if I should continue this Fic, so could someone tell me if it's worth the space?
