Had this one in my mind for a while and finally was I able to write it... For those who want to read some of the stuff that led to this chapter, read the Arrancar Encyclopedia omakes I've written at the end of some of the chapters of my main story Bleach: The 3rd Phantom. Have a good read!
Trial in Las Noches
"Ouch! What are you doing to me?!" The frightened Gin asked, while he was forced to sit down. Darkness surrounded him, as someone had placed a bag on his head, before dragging the Shinigami to his current location. Suddenly, bright lights cleared out the darkness, causing Gin's slitted eyes to close even further. "W-What the...?!"
"Be quiet. Now's not the time..." Someone whispered to him. Gin quickly recognized the voice's owner as being Tōsen, his fellow former Captain of the Gotei 13. As his eyes finally adjusted to his surroundings, the silver-haired man's jaw hit the ground in impressive fashion. He was in the middle of a court room, with all of the decoration being made of the quartz-like minerals that could be easily mistaken as trees if one went for a walk in the desert of Hueco Mundo. "The trial is about to start."
"Trial?!" The confused Gin asked, before he heard the one who dragged him along clearing his throat. Rudbornn placed both hands behind his back, while he stared to all the people inside the court room.
"All rise." Rudbornn asked. Gin heard a bunch of people behind him standing up and saw Tōsen doing the same. The former Captain of the 9th Division noticed Gin wasn't following the order, so he forced him to stand by pulling his left arm. Then, Gin noticed that someone hadn't moved at all and continued to stare at him with a smile on his face. The judge, Sōsuke Aizen. "The Trial in Las Noches is now in session. Aizen-sama will be presiding. Please be seated."
"Tōsen-san... What the hell is going on here?" Gin whispered, after both former Shinigami got back to their seats. Looking over his shoulder, Gin recognized every single face that was behind him, in the audience. Pretty much every Arrancar in Las Noches was present there, including most of the Espada. "What are we being accused of?"
"We? You're the one who got arrested by Rudbornn the other day. I did nothing to taint justice." Tōsen told him, causing Gin to groan.
"Really?! Don't tell me it's because of that... I was just fooling around. It was a joke." Gin honestly spoke, while he looked around, trying to find the Arrancar who got him in this mess. "I didn't think it would be taken so hard. Plus, talk about bad timing... It was like Rudbornn was already looking for me to arrest me!"
"He was." Tōsen revealed, causing Gin to open his mouth in surprise. "That's only one of the motives behind why we're here, today."
"Good morning, Arrancar. And good morning, Tōsen and Gin." Aizen greeted everyone, without ever losing his smile. "Calling the case of all the Arrancar of Las Noches versus Gin Ichimaru. Are both sides ready?"
"Ready for the Arrancar, your honor, Aizen-sama." Ulquiorra answered, as he was serving as the attorney for the accusation. Before Gin could even ask about it, Tōsen stood once again.
"Ready for the defense, your honor, Aizen-sama." Tōsen stood, before Aizen allowed both attorneys to sit back down.
"What?! You're my lawyer?" Gin questioned, to which Tōsen answered by nodding. "Do you know what you have to do?"
"Don't worry. There's no one who understands justice more than I do." Tōsen calmly stated.
"Okay, justice, yeah... What about laws?" Gin asked, but Tōsen didn't move a single inch for a long time. "Hey! You're not answering, Tōsen-san!"
"Let me remind you, despite the audience, this is not a jury trial. It's a bench trial, with all the deliberations being made by me." Aizen told to everyone. Gin didn't know how to interpret that, as he had his doubts that Aizen would help him despite Gin being his second-in-command. "With this I give start to the opening statements. Please, register everything that is spoken, clerk."
"So shall I do, Aizen-sama." Aissling Wernarr nodded, while he continued to press the buttons of the old-fashioned writing maching with his long fingers.
"Your honor." Ulquiorra stood once again and nodded, before looking to Gin by the corner of his eye. "The defendant has been charged with the following crimes: countless crimes of trespassing into personal property; 4 crimes of battery, with 2 of those being aggravated; 2 crimes of blasphemy; 1 crime of disorderly conduct; 1 crime of second degree assault; 1 crime of sexual assault; 1 crime of theft; and 1 crime of vandalism."
"I did all that?!" Gin asked, while he pointed to his own face.
"The charges were pressed by several individuals, so we'll cover each accusation at a time." Ulquiorra continued, completely ignoring Gin's question. "I shall call witnesses and provide some evidence that will proove to you that the defendant is guilty as charged."
"Your honor." Tōsen stood and waited until Aizen gave him permission to continue. "Under the domain of justice, my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. During this trial, you will hear no real evidence against my client. You will come to know the truth!"
"Wow! He's actually speaking quite well!" Gin whistled in appreciation, while he heard Tōsen speak for him.
"And the truth is that... he did all that he's accused of!" Tōsen continued, causing Gin's eyes to open wide for a moment. His lawyer was screwing him over. "Even so, by his own claim, he was just fooling around, so none of his actions should be taken as a result of bad will. He's just like a child and children are innocent, pure minded."
"Pure minded my ass!" Someone shouted from the crowd, with Gin quickly recognizing the owner's voice as Nnoitra. Aizen hit his hammer twice and cleared his throat.
"Order in court." Aizen demanded, despite his apparent calmness. "The prosecution may call its first witness and exhibit its first case."
"Very well. The Arrancar call to the court the former Sexta Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." Ulquiorra announced. Grimmjow stood from his seat and stomped forward to the witness stand, closely followed by Rudbornn.
"Please stand and raise your right hand." Rudbornn asked Grimmjow, who did so with an annoyed look in his face. At least he wasn't asked to raise his left one. "Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
"Sure, I will." Grimmjow grunted the answer. Strangely, his eyes were red and he seemed close to pass out at any moment.
"Please state your first and last name." Aisslinger asked to the witness, who frowned.
"Is this really needed?! You know my name damn well!" Grimmjow nearly shouted in his face, so Aisslinger simply nodded a few times to answer. "Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez!"
"You may be seated." Rudbornn told him, but before Grimmjow could follow with that, Aisslinger intervened again.
"Could... Could you please spell your last name?" The Arrancar asked, causing the former Espada to glare at him. "I-It's... for the record."
"Grrrr... Alright! J-A-E...uh, G...G..." Grimmjow blushed, as even he wasn't sure how to spell his own name. "Write whatever you want, it's what those manga scan translators do anyway, a different way to write the same thing each chapter... Or just go ask Kubo!"
"We'll be dealing with one of the cases of trespassing and with the case of second degree assault." Ulquiorra told to everyone, before he walked in front of Grimmjow. "The victim was none other than Grimmjow himself. The defendant invaded my client's chambers without his permission and spread catnip all across Grimmjow's room. As you can see in my client's eyes, Grimmjow is still recovering from a near overdose."
"Yeah! You think it's funny putting catnip all over my room?! Huh?!" Grimmjow aggressively stood and only didn't charge towards Gin because he was immediately grabbed by Rudbornn.
"Order." Aizen demanded. "Grimmjow, restrain yourself to only answering Ulquiorra's questions."
"Here's the evidence, your honor." Ulquiorra handed a bag of catnip to Aizen, before continuing. "Grimmjow, does anyone have access to your chambers?"
"Nope. Not since Shawlong and the others died." Grimmjow answered, while his eyes travelled to the catnip Aizen was smelling.
"One more question. Have you ever consumed catnip as a recreational drug?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Yeah, sure I... No! Never! Not at all!" Grimmjow shook his head frenetically.
"So there's absolutely no chance that all that catnip was yours, right?" Ulquiorra continued to question Grimmjow, while a drop of sweat slowly rolled down the back of his head. "Idiot, nearly screwed all up..."
"N-No, not at all! I never bought any... I mean, I never did any of that stuff you're talking about!" Grimmjow nervously stated, before he pointed towards Gin. "It's just his stupid sense of humor! I'm not a cat, damn it! Stop with the catnip and the cat calls! I'm an Arrancar! That's it!"
"Thank you, I have no further questions." Ulquiorra moved back to his seat.
"Does the defense have any questions?" Aizen asked, to which Tōsen simply shook his head. "The witness is excused. Does the prosecution have any other witnesses for this case?"
"No, your honor." Ulquiorra also shook his head. "The Arrancar rest their case."
"Is the defense ready with its case?" Aizen questioned, so that they could proceed.
"No, Aizen-sama." Tōsen said.
"What do you mean no? Don't you have witnesses or evidence to show?" Gin asked, with Tōsen shaking his head.
"I was named your lawyer five minutes ago. What did you expect me to do?" Tōsen revealed, causing Gin to slam his right hand into his own face.
"Oh great..." Gin groaned, before he quickly decided how to proceed. "Aizen-taichō, may I ask to fire my lawyer and defend myself in court?"
"If that's your wish..." Aizen seemed amused, as he allowed Gin to proceed.
"Aizen-taichō, it's true that the catnip is my own. I keep it to, uh... make tea. It's very nice mixed with green tea. Yeah... so, if you look for fingertips, you'll know that that catnip is indeed mine. How it ended in Grimmjow's room, that I don't know. What I do know though..." A sparkle appeared in Gin's left eye slit, as he had a card ready to pull out of his sleeve. "I do know someone who has access to Grimmjow's chambers, giving that Grimmjow is his new Fracción... the new Sexta Espada, Luppi Antenor!"
"Damn it! Don't mention that out loud! It's humiliating enough already!" The furious Grimmjow roared. Luppi stood from his seat and waved his right sleeve.
"Yeah, I did it. The result was funny as hell, don't you think?" Luppi spoke lightly and actually chuckled. "Well, an Espada can do whatever he wants with his Fracción, so I don't get to go to the bench, right Aizen-sama?"
"Indeed, you do not, even though you could've saved us all this trouble... Case dismissed." Aizen slammed his hammer twice, before Grimmjow jumped over the rail, escaping Rudbornn and charging towards Luppi, who was already on the run.
"Come back here, you bastard!" Grimmjow demanded, as he started to charge red energy in his right hand.
"Lucky that I'm in good terms with Luppi..." Gin thought, while his smirk returning to his face.
"Can we move to the next case, Ulquiorra?" Aizen asked, with an upset look on his face, as Grimmjow had just blasted a hole through a wall with a Cero, with both Arrancars leaving the room through it. "Why do I think this will all be a big waste of time?"
"We'll move to one of the accusations of blasphemy. The defendant hasn't shown enough respect for the God of Hueco Mundo." Ulquiorra read the accusation from a paper, before stopping to think about it and sighing. "I call a witness, Baraggan Louisenbairn."
Menoly and Loly opened the doors of the court room, allowing Findorr Calius and Ggio Vega to enter, leading their master Baraggan into the room. Nirgge Parduoc, Abirama Redder and Charlotte Chuhlhourne followed behind, while Choe Neng Poww didn't enter because he couldn't fit into the door. Baraggan's Fracción prepared to summon his throne of bones, only to be stopped by Rudbornn.
"I can't allow that. The chair for the witnesses is that one." Rudbornn told to Baraggan, who glared at the leader of the Exequias.
"I won't sit on the same place as those commoners." Baraggan told them, before he turned around and left the room, leaving his Fracción behind. Everyone blinked twice in shock, including Gin.
"I take it the accusation was made by Baraggan himself, so I take it you don't have any more witnesses for this case, right Ulquiorra?" Aizen asked and Ulquiorra could do nothing but to nod. Aizen shook his head and hit his hammer twice. "Case dismissed... Can we move to the other crime of blasphemy? By the way... who filled this second accusation of blasphemy?"
"BANZAI! AIZEN-SAMA! BANZAI!" Zommari suddenly shouted from the crowd.
"The accusation is that... The defendant hasn't shown enough respect for Aizen-sama." Ulquiorra revealed, not even him believing that the presented cases were something to deal with in court.
"BANZAI! AIZEN-SAMA! BANZAI!" Zommari continued to cheer for Aizen, causing the leader of the Arrancars to snap his fingers.
"Security." Aizen simply said, before a bunch of Exequias dragged Zommari out of the room. "Case dismissed... I'm starting to get tired of this, Ulquiorra."
"Y-Yes, Aizen-sama... The next case is of disorderly conduct. The accusation comes from... Coyote Starrk." Ulquiorra, who was the most stoic creature in the face of both worlds, felt like losing his mind. All the accusations were ridiculous so far and this next one was no exception. "It's that Gin's actions have caused an uproar two days ago when Starrk was trying to sleep, which prevented him from doing so."
"Late hours?" Aizen questioned.
"3 PM." Ulquiorra shortly answered, causing most of the audience to laugh.
"And where is he?" Aizen himself felt like shouting, as he was starting to grow frustrated.
"He went to the toilet half an hour ago. Most likely he fell asleep there." Lilynette was the one to answer. Aizen's eyes widened for a moment, before he slammed his hammer down once again.
"Next." He said, while he glared towards Ulquiorra. Not far from the attorney of accusation, Gin was now finding the situation hilarious.
"Aggravated battery. I call Noveno Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie to the stand." Ulquiorra quickly called forth a new witness. Aaroniero walked slowly to the chair of the witnesses and went through the same procedure Grimmjow did earlier. "The case here is that Gin Ichimaru stirred a wild animal to attack my client."
"Yes... Yes, he did." Aaroniero answered with his high-pitched voice. Strangely, it seemed like his deep voice was struggling not to laugh.
"You did?" Tōsen asked, but Gin was already bursting in laughter. "I guess that confirms it..."
"Silence." Aizen demanded, before he shifted his eyes back to Ulquiorra. "Any evidence?"
"Yes. Please, take your mask now, Aaroniero." Ulquiorra asked to the lower-ranked Espada. Aaroniero took his mask off, revealing the glass cylindrical capsule that contained both of his Hollow masks. Inside the capsule was also a small goldfish, swimming around the lower mask, the one that spoke in the high pitched voice. "That's the creature."
"A goldfish?" Aizen questioned in desbelief. In the audience, Nnoitra started to laugh like the madman that he was.
"Ahahahah! I knew it! I knew that someday you would make good use of that fishtank!" Nnoitra mocked Aaroniero, with the lower mask growling lowly.
"Shut up, Nnoitra! You don't know how annoy... S-STOP! Don't start hitting me again!" The lower mask shifted its attention back to the goldfish, who was now striking him with multiple headbutt attacks. The higher-placed mask couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing loudly as well. Suddenly, the lower mask opened its mouth to scream once more, but ended up swallowing the fish. "Aaah! I'm gonna choke! Take it out! Take it out!"
"Idiot! You don't have a throat! Just spit him out already!" The deep voice commanded and so it happened. The lower mask spat out the goldfish, who immediately started hitting it again. The audience was laughing in unison by this time.
"Well, let me ask you something... Which one is Aaro and which one is Niero?" Gin asked, while he pointed towards the Noveno Espada.
"I'm Aaro." The upper head instinctively answered in its deep voice, while pointing a finger towards itself.
"And I'm Niero... FUCK! NOT AGAIN!" The lower head screeched in anger, causing Nnoitra to fall to the floor laughing.
"You see, Aizen-taichō, Aaroniero made the vow to speak nothing but the truth. Earlier, he claimed to be called Aaroniero, but now he claims to be two different entities, one called Aaro and other one called Niero... I ask for his entire testimony to not be considered, as this man is obviously a liar!" Gin asked to the judge, causing Ulquiorra's eyes to widen ever so slightly.
"Allowed. The witness is dismissed... Next!" Aizen decided, before hitting his hammer down once again. While Aaro, Niero and the goldfish went back to their original seat, Ulquiorra turned around to the audience.
"Nnoitra! Stop laughing, you're next!" Ulquiorra called for the Quinto Espada, who complied in a surprisingly fast way.
"Oh yeah, I forgot I'm in this too..." Nnoitra said, while he walked towards the witness chair.
"Ulquiorra! I want to be on this too!" Yammy asked, causing Ulquiorra's to roll his eyes.
"Things are going badly as they are, Yammy. We don't need you and your lack of brains to make them even worse." The pale Arrancar told him, before he focused back on Aizen. "Nnoitra is here to testify against Gin's second crime of aggravated battery and one of the many of trespassing into personal property."
"So... Gin sneaked into Nnoitra's chambers and did... what exactly?" Aizen made the question to Nnoitra himself.
"We assaulted me with a white weapon!" Nnoitra answered in a shout, while he glared towards the silver-haired man.
"Well, I could accept Aaroniero's case as aggravated battery, since the attack was made through him stirring... a wild animal... but I could only accept your case as aggravated if you showed a serious bodily injury as a result from the attack." Aizen told him.
"Well, I do have one!" Nnoitra said, before he lifted his eyepatch, showing a baseball filling his Hollow hole. In the audience, it was now the sound of Aaroniero's two voices laughing that could be heard. "See? This is serious! It's like I have two eyes now, it changed my whole body complexion!"
"So I take it that's..." The judge started to speak, while he pointed towards the baseball. There was also an eye drawn on it.
"The white weapon! It's a white baseball, isn't it?" Nnoitra asked, before he pointed towards. "To top it off, that bastard put glue on it, so I can't take it off!"
"What do you have to say, Gin Ichimaru?" Ulquiorra questioned the Shinigami, who smiled his usual wicked smile.
"I can find a ping pong ball and give it to Tesra, so you two can match with each other." Gin suggested, causing a vein to pop in Nnoitra's forehead.
"You son of a bitch! You think this is fucking funny, isn't it?!" Nnoitra shouted, while he quickly stood and prepared to charge in Gin's direction.
"Nnoitra Gilga, if you don't calm yourself down, I'll have to expel you of this trial and erase your testimony." Aizen warned the tallest Espada, but he wouldn't stop.
"You don't know what he does to us, that shitty bastard! It's torture everyday! I'm sick of it! I'm gonna fucking murder that sorry excuse of a..." Nnoitra continued to rant, giving Aizen no choice but to snap his fingers.
"Security." Aizen simply said, before a bunch of Exequias dragged Nnoitra out of the room. "And now?"
"Trespassing followed by theft. I call Tier Harribel to the stand." Ulquiorra spoke, while he thought about the current situation. "I'm starting to think we should've thought this plan to get rid of Gin Ichimaru a little better."
"Harribel?" The surprised Gin asked, while he rubbed the back of his head. "I did nothing to Harribel."
"Tell us... What happened, Harribel?" Aizen questioned the Tres Espada, who closed her eyes for a moment, just so she could prepare to answer.
"He entered in my chambers... and stole my favorite panties." Harribel revealed, while she blushed under her mask and jacket.
"Hey! That's not fair! Of all the stuff I'm accused of, this had to be the one I really didn't do? Not fair!" Gin complained. Ulquiorra's eyes widened, as he prepared to attack.
"You just confessed your crimes! You confessed your guilt, Gin Ichimaru!" Ulquiorra pointed out, but Gin actually chuckled.
"No, I didn't." Gin said, before pointing to the judge's chair. "If the judge didn't listen, then it didn't happen."
"What?!" Ulquiorra turned to face Aizen, in time to see him returning to his seat with a cup of tea in hand.
"What did I miss?" He casually asked, causing Ulquiorra to despair.
"In any case, I'm sure it was you who stole them." Harribel claimed, while she pointed towards Gin. "My Fracción prevented you from entering in my chambers the last time, but if you were ready to do it, then I'm sure you did it before as well."
"Look, I didn't do it, but maybe I could've seen them somewhere... Those panties, how were they?" Gin actually tried to help. Harribel gasped and stared down in shame.
"Black panties... with a yellow rose in the middle." She revealed, while she wished to hide herself in some deep hole. Gin started to think about it, but the only thing he got was a nosebleed. Furious, Harribel drew her sword and pointed it towards Gin. "You pervert! I'll cut your thing off!"
"Wait! I'm the one who has them!" Charlotte Chuhlhourne spoke from the audience, causing everyone's eyes to widen. "It was in the laundry room. I mistook them with my own! You see, I have all kinds of panties with roses... White panties, black panties, pink panties... but all of them have white roses on them. I noticed that yesterday, but didn't know who the owner was, so..."
"So you were going to keep them! Give them back or I'll cut off your di..." Harribel charged towards Charlotte, her sword pointed at him. However, Charlotte simply put on a pose with both fists against his hips, as if challenging her to do so. Harribel suddenly stopped her motion, as a thought crossed her mind. "Bastard, you don't have one of those, do you?"
"Try me!" He answered, with a wink.
"The list of accusations is running thin, Ulquiorra. Go on." Aizen instructed him.
"Cyan Sung-Sun." Ulquiorra called for one of Harribel's Fracción, causing Gin's eyebrows to narrow. Sung-Sun sat on the witness chair, after going through the usual procedure. "You have accused Gin of sexual assault. What type?"
"Verbal. He said some very disturbing things, which are on tape by the way, about what he wanted to do with me." As usual, Sung-Sun spoke from behind her right sleeve. "Besides that piece of evidence, there are witnesses as well, who clearly heard him say stuff like 'my tongue flicks back and forth' and 'if I like what I find, I swallow them whole'. The witnesses are Apacci and Mila Rose."
"Well, finally something a bit acceptable." Aizen stated, before turning to Gin. "Do you have something to say in your defense?"
"I do... Sung-Sun, I was joking around. Even if I wasn't, I would probably say something like that anyway, since I'm not good with that kind of stuff... But have you stopped to think why it happened with you?" Gin's words caught Sung-Sun's attention, as she focused her sight on Gin. "It's because out of the three of you, you're the only one who caught my attention. You're the best of the three, Sung-Sun. That's how it is."
"What?!" Both Apacci and Mila Rose shouted, as Gin was clearly undervaluing them. Sung-Sun's eyes widened for a moment, before she stood of the witness chair.
"That's good enough for me. I drop my charges." Sung-Sun said, causing Apacci and Mila Rose's eyes to turn blank. "Finally, someone understands me. I'm indeed the best of the Tres Bestias. I guess I'll accept that date after this is all said and done."
"Sung-Sun, you bitch!" Both other members of the Tres Bestias roared in fury. Ulquiorra seemed to have gained a new shade of white over his skin. He only had one more person to call and wasn't sure if he was in condition to testify.
"Your next move, Ulquiorra?" Aizen questioned the Arrancar, who sighed.
"I call Szayelaporro Granz to the stand." Ulquiorra announced. Menoly and Loly opened the room's large doors once again and everyone waited for the arrival of the Espada for a few minutes. When some started to think he wouldn't appear, Szayelaporro entered in the court room, walking slowly with his head hanged down. Some even thought he would stop walking to hug himself given his attitude and stance. After a while, they started the regular procedure.
"Name?" Aisslinger asked, as usual.
"Four-eyed, flamboyant butterfly." Szayelaporro answered blankly.
"Excuse me?" The surprised Arrancar asked.
"SZAYELAPORRO GRANZ!" The scientist screamed, while shaking furiously. Aisslinger nodded very quickly and continued to do his job.
"Szayelaporro was victim of the remaining cases of trespassing into personal property. He was also the victim in the last two cases of battery and in the one case of vandalism." Ulquiorra informed everyone else. "Want to tell us about it, Szayelaporro?"
"He physically tortured me until I was forced to blast a hole through a wall just to escape him... He broke into my lab and destroyed my experiment... He crushed me and Nnoitra with a bucket of white paint while I was doing the Arrancar Encyclopedia in his place..." Szayelaporro told what happened to him, with a crazied look in his eyes. "He chose me... I did nothing to him... Yet... He's everywhere I go. I always feel like I'm being followed... I..."
"You're downright broke, Szayelaporro." Gin gave his opinion, causing Szayelaporro's eyes to widen more than they possibly could.
"Shup up, Ichimaru! I'M NOT CRAZY!" Szayelaporro screamed once again, trembling in anger.
"Of course not. You're not crazy, you're just mad." Gin spoke through his wicked grin. "That's why your Aspect of Death is Madness."
"I'm not mad..." The scientist shook his head a couple of times to deny what had been said by Gin.
"Yes, you are." Gin said playfully, but Szayelaporro continued to shake his head.
"No, I'm not..."
"And remember... madness is like gravity. All it takes..." Gin repeated the words he once said, causing Szayelaporro to remember his destroyed experiment, after Gin pushed it to the floor. "...is a little push."
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Szayelaporro started to scream madly, causing Aizen to sigh and snap his fingers.
"Security." Aizen simply said, before a bunch of Exequias dragged Szayelaporro out of the room. "It seems we've gone through all the accusations. Anything else to say, Ulquiorra?"
"N-No, Aizen-sama..." The for once shocked Ulquiorra mumbled. The plan to get rid of Gin Ichimaru had been a complete failure on the part of the Arrancars.
"What about you, Gin?" Aizen asked to the other attorney, even though self-appointed.
"I think we're good, here." He answered with a wide, wide grin.
"The defendant Gin Ichimaru is considered non guilty of all accusations. He is also allowed full control over his Arrancar Encyclopedia show once again. Everyone is thanked and excused. Court is adjourned." Aizen concluded the trial. Every Arrancar started to leave, until the three Shinigami were left alone in the room. "You did well for yourself, Gin."
"Well, it wasn't much. Half of them did my job for me." Gin told them, before he made a victory sign with his fingers. "I got my show back and I even got a date!"
"About that... where will you take her? You're quite restricted here in Hueco Mundo. There's nothing in this world besides Las Noches itself." Tōsen reminded Gin, who actually hadn't thought of that.
"A date... in Las Noches?" Gin mumbled, as he briefly thought about it. "There will be madness for sure!"
"Don't worry, Gin. We'll find a plan. There is always a plan." Aizen grinned, his smirk for a moment scarier than Gin's usual one.
