Aizen admired the group's imagination. Going after Ichigo Kurosaki? At a time like this? He had pondered an idea as such, but he soon realized after the Vandenreich Leader had visited him that it would be quite some time before he would ever lay eyes on that boy again. This might be his chance to try to get back at this boy; the only difference this time is that the pawns came to him, instead of him searching for the pawns.

"Ichigo Kurosaki?" Aizen wanted to be sure Ginjo knew what he was getting into.

"Yes. Right now, he is in the Soul King's palace, along with Rukia Kuchiki, Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai." Ginjo replied. "So we'd have to wait a little while. In the meantime, I was thinking that we might be able to eliminate a captain or two..."

"If you're going to insult him like that, at least make it more subtle."

"Would you shut up already Tsukishima?!"

"This is the man that singlehandedly took down the Gotei 13. The only things stopping him were Kisuke Urahara and Ichigo-"

"That is incorrect." Aizen interrupted. "Kisuke Urahara was the only problem." Because that damn man does not know when to just die, he added mentally. "Ichigo Kurosaki would've been taken care of, had that man not stepped in my way."

"That's neither here nor there."

"Actually, it is here." Aizen corrected Tsukishima.

"No, it's not." Tsukishima brushed off Giriko's sigh and Ginjo's glare that read: Don't even TRY correcting this guy. "What matters is that you wouldn't be stopped if Ichigo wasn't around."

"This is-"

"Why don't we just get to the point and quit arguing before someone gets killed? I like that idea! How 'bout that, Giriko, you like that idea? Good! Let's move on now, shall we?" Ginjo butted in.

"Why move on? We were fine before." Tsukishima argued.

"I'm the leader, and I say it's time you move on."

"Since when I am under you?"

"Since I'm the freaking LEADER!"

"We're equals."

"No we're not. You quit Xcution for no reason!"

"I didn't quit."

"YES YOU FREAKIN' DID!"

"Nope."

Before Ginjo could spout another angry response, a chuckle arose out of Aizen, who was displaying his usual smirk of arrogance for the world to see. "What's so funny?!"

"I think he's amuse-"

"Shut up."

"It's amusing to see that you fight so much, yet you're both capable of working together quite well when in terms of trying to fulfill a common goal." Aizen mused. "It's ironic; the three of you, who seem to enjoy in-fighting and rebellion against higher ranks, come to me, the man who killed those who did not follow his orders to a 't', for assistance in the same goal. Do you think that I'm going to follow your same logic this easily? Or are you trying to use me a war potential, like the Vandenreich leader wanted to? I can tell, by the way you haven't interrupted and/or corrected me that I'm right. I do not follow the suit of anyone else, but I do use others' ideas to my advantage to try to achieve my goals. I do not tolerate in-fighting among my subordiantes or my equals, you three being the former. And I most certainly will not be used just as a special ability that you can turn on and off at your whim. If anything, you would need me leading you in order for you to get anywhere near where you want to go. Order is what is key in order for you to succed during this war.

"And I'm not talking about the war between Soul Society and the Quincy rebels. I mean a war between all three sides in this case; the Fullbringers, the Shinigami and Humans, and the Quincies and Arrancars."

The three men stood silent.

"Yes, I consider you three to be underlings."

"We got you OUT. We are on par with you." Ginjo deadpanned. "At least, be grateful to us. That doesn't mean we want you to kiss our feet for it though; a sincere 'thank you' and your support would do. We didn't come here for you to work for us; we came here for you to work with us." He took a look around and saw a certain man missing from the room. "Speaking of 'us', where's Tsukishima?"

"I'm out here." He replied, poking his head in before rejoining the others. "I was looking for these." Tsukishima held a pair of folded black hakamas, a shihakusho, an obi and a white coat similar to a haori, minus a division symbol. "He might want them; probably a little comfier than a tight-fitting black outfit, am I right?"

"Since when did I agree to work with you three?" Aizen questioned.

"Since your monologue said so." Giriko said, saying the first thing he'd ever said since they arrived in Muken.

"I never said I would join you. I stated that if I were to hypothetically join, that I would lead you because you all have no idea of order, or if you do, you don't apply it one bit. I never expressly stated that I would lead or join you."

"Will you, though?" Ginjo repeated.

"You really are desperate, aren't you?"

"No!"

"Really?"

"...Okay, maybe a little. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Right?"

"Yes, desperate measures, not drastically ostentatious and utterly ridiculous measures." Aizen corrected. "Besides, I believe you're biting too far into a chunk of revenge, and you'll choke trying to swallow it."

"That's what we do. You took revenge, planted an orchard and ate EVERYTHING there." Tsukishima replied.

I like this guy. He's bold. Aizen thought. I might actually want to make him in charge of them instead of Ginjo. Granted, Ginjo has more experience with the Soul Society than him, but he doesn't seem to take charge the way he does. But he has to lay off on corrected me; he sounds like an idiot doing so.

"I will join-"

Tsukishima and Ginjo high-fived.

"-on a few conditions."

Ginjo and Tsukishima thought the same thing. We are screwed. We are royally screwed by God. What have we done to him? Why do we deserve this? (A/N: Because you tried to kill Ichigo, the main character).

"First, I'm in charge."

"I can work with that." Ginjo said.

"Second, I want you as second in command."

Score!

"Third, Tsukishima will be responsible for researching our targets."

"Alright then." Tsukishima agreed.

"And Kutsuzawa will be reconaissence."

Giriko nodded.

"Now, the first goal is to figure out which captains and lieutenants will be of most threat to us, and which ones will be ignored."

"One suggestion, Aizen." Ginjo interrupted. He pointed to the clothes Tsukishima was holding. "It might work a little better when fighting."

"This is true." Aizen took the clothes from Tsukishima. "Our first target to take out should either be Retsu Unohana, Shunsui Kyouraku, Kenpachi Zaraki or Mayuri Kurotsuchi."

"Why them?"

"Eliminate the healer, the new head captain, the only other war potential in Soul Society and the best scientist they have."
