Chapter Three: Aizen Gossips with Gin
There was a knock on my office door. Sighing, I set my tea down.
"Come in," I said, and Gin stepped in.
"Heya!" He greeted me. "I met yer new 5th seat,"
"Ah you did? I do hope you didn't scare her," I remarked with a smile.
"I prolly did," Gin shrugged. "She's interestin'"
"What did you find?" I asked.
"She's the kinda person who wears masks," Gin told me. "Kinda like me, but she changes 'em a lot,"
"I see," I nodded.
"She ain' trustin' either," Gin added.
"And what about her abilities?" I pressed.
"Ya mean the mind readin' thing ya said she had? Dunno really, I didn' feel like she was readin' my mind," Gin remarked casually, looking thoughtful.
"Neither did I when she did it," I pointed out. Gin frowned slightly.
"Don' ya think it's a li'l dangerous havin' a mind reader so close ta ya? What if she uncovers yer plans?" Gin asked.
"You're asking me if what I'm doing is dangerous?" I remarked. Gin shrugged. "Besides, what can she do? No would believer her,"
"I guess that's true," Gin nodded.
"And besides, she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would go digging around in her commanding officer's mind," I added.
"That's true. An' another thing-" Gin grinned predatorily "- she was cryin'"
"Crying?" I remarked with a casual smirk. "Really now?"
"Yup. She covered it up real quick," Gin nodded. "But she was a shinobi after all,"
"Yes… it's curious… most shinobi become hollows, or take years to become shinigami due to their generally untimely deaths," I remarked.
"Yeah, most shinobi don' die a peaceful death in their sleep, that's fer sure," Gin agreed.
"Yes… but this girl seemingly died and then went straight to the academy. It's as if she already knew that she wanted to be a shinigami," I mused.
"Well… why don't ya ask 'er?" Gin suggested.
"Hm… I do believe I will," I nodded. Gin stood and took his leave, silently as always, while I mulled over the information I had received.
Inuyoshie's after the chapter special
Yo!
Sorry about the short chapter, it's sort of a transition chapter. T-T
Anyways… I'll probably be updating this story every Tuesday and Thursday, and updating Abyssal Armageddon every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to anyone who reads both stories.
Pointless prattle aside, care to review?
