Summary: This is just a guess of when Aizen and Unohana are children. Of course in the manga, Aizen and Unohana probably never even met as children, but it's fun to imagine, right? Perhaps in the human world, they all had met before.
Note: Once again… Reviews are loved.
Bandages can cover things up, but they can't help your heart feel better.
"Owie. I hurt my knee!"
Little Aizen was only 4 years old. He didn't have his glasses, but he had a cut on his knee. He had tripped on the root of a tree while he was playing 'Hide and Seek' with Ukitake and Shunsui. He was 'it', of course.
"Stupid booboo hurts." He complained. He propped his leg up, examining his knee. There was a thick gash that ran across it. It wasn't too bad, but it was bleeding.
A girl about a year older than him sat next to him. She had short black hair and eyes the color of violets. "Oh… Look's like you need a doctor. Let's play hospital." She suggested, smiling. Aizen tilted his head. "Hospital? What's that?"
The girl, smiling, took his hand in hers and pulled him over to a small playhouse. Ukitake and Shunsui saw the small boy walking alongside the slightly taller girl. Ukitake looked at his best friend. "Do you wanna follow them?" Shunsui shrugged, grinning. "Okay."
They ran, following the girl and their younger friend. "Hey. We wanna play, too." The two children ahead turned around. The girl nodded, smiling. "Okay. We're playing hospital. You can be the patients. I'll be the doctor." Ukitake and Shunsui nodded after looking at each other with confused expressions.
The girl led the way, telling them to wait a few seconds. She went into the playhouse and came back with a first aid kit. Who knew where she had gotten it. The three boys were sitting down. The friendly girl kneeled down, taking a wipe and band-aids (which had little purple dinosaurs on it) out. She wiped the blood and dirt from Aizen's gash, neatly placing a band-aid on it. She gently pat his knee with her tiny hand, smiling. "All done."
"We want a band-aid too."
"Yeah. And pat our knees for us."
The girl laughed, taking out two more band-aids. She placed one on each knee, gently patting them as she did with Aizen. Aizen just smiled, sheepishly. Ukitake had a small smile on his face. Shunsui grinned.
"You can call me Retsu." She said.
The group became quick friends.
A dream, perhaps?
Aizen woke from his slumber, a hand placed on his head. His eyebrows were knit in confusion. He couldn't figure out if it had, indeed, been a dream or a memory.
The captain looked at a small pile of paperwork on his desk. He sighed. He had fallen asleep while signing papers. It was the same routine everyday, wasn't it? He stretched, yawning a little. He finished continued the work he had left unfinished.
Hinamori, his fuku-taicho, called his name.
"A-Aizen-taicho… I have a delivery for you."
"Come in."
The sweet girl came in with a tray. A cup of steaming hot tea had been placed on it.
"Unohana-taicho wanted to deliver this tea for you. She says it helps relieve stress and fatigue."
Hinamori placed it on his desk, smiling timidly.
"Umm…well… Good night, taicho."
"Good night to you, as well, Hinamori."
Hinamori smiled to herself, leaving his dimly lit office.
Aizen chuckled as he took a sip of his tea.
"Retsu saves the day."
