This one probably strays toward ooc by the end. I doubt that much could ruffle Aizen.

Disclaimer: Not mine.


Everything was going according to plan. Aizen let out an evil laugh at the fools who would dare stand in his way. He had shown them. He could see it now…victory was within his grasp…

Gin crouched down next to Aizen, who was sprawled out on his back, unconscious. Gin reached out and poked Aizen's shoulder with a finger, drawing a grumble and then a sigh.

Grimmjow, Szayel and Ulquiorra were standing in a semi-circle around Gin and Aizen, silent. Well, in Ulquiorra's case, silence. Grimmjow was trying his best not to laugh, while Szayel was trying hard not to sigh at how long this was taking. The four of them had found Aizen passed out a little while ago.

Szayel stared down at Aizen, holding in another sigh. He could be back in his lab, doing something useful.

"What happened to him?" Ulquiorra questioned Gin at length. The silence had gone on for a bit too long.

Gin left off prodding Aizen and stood up. Then with a smile, stated, "He's been knocked unconscious…"

"No shit." Grimmjow snorted. He turned and walked off, "I'm outta here."

Gin tilted his head as he watched Grimmjow leave. Them he turned to face Szayel, who wore an irked expression. Gin held up his hands in a placating manner, "Now, now, no need to get angry. He didn't let me finish." Gin's smile widened, "Aizen is in this state 'cause he wasn't paying attention to where he was goin'." Gin indicated a pillar, and then pointed to Aizen.

Szayel looked at the pillar, then at Aizen, before turning and leaving in annoyance. He was wasting his time here. If Aizen had just been knocked unconscious, then he would be fine when he woke up.

Ulquiorra watched silently as Gin stooped and poked Aizen again. This time, he stirred.

"Mornin'." Gin said cheerfully to the half-awake Aizen.

Aizen blinked up at Gin, somewhat disappointed that the dream he had been having wasn't real. Aizen sat up, shaking his head lightly. How had he ended up on the ground…Oh. That was how.

Aizen stood up and turned to face away from Gin and Ulquiorra. There was no way he was going to tell anyone how he had ended up unconscious. Aizen started to walk, aware that the other two were following him.

Gin was smiling in amusement. He knew what had happened. Aizen had accidentally walked in on a certain someone mid change…and had quickly vacated the area and went into the hall, only to run right into a pillar and pass out.

Gin's smile widened. Now wouldn't that amuse Nnoitra or Grimmjow?


I'll probably put up another chapter in a week or so.
