The Horse Was Lost

Gin attempted to organize his thoughts. Aizen was not going to take having his plans not work out well, and Gin wanted to be prepared. He also wanted to figure out the best way to derail said plans. If Rangiku and his child were going to be safe, Aizen needed to be fully dealt with. His plans for the Seireitei couldn't succeed, and that would take some doing. Gin was also aware that he was going to have to explain his role in those plans to someone at some point. He doubted he could deal with Aizen completely on his own. He wasn't stupid after all.

Things were already in motion for Aizen's plans though, and quite honestly, Gin didn't have a lot of time to change things. But he wouldn't leave Rangiku now, and there was no way in hell he would take her to Hueco Mundo. That was definitely not a stable environment to raise a child in. For all the problems that the Seireitei had, it was the best option for raising a child. So it was here they needed to stay. The next question was how to manage that. Gin didn't plan on ending up in a cell or executed either.

So he would have to go about this carefully. First he needed to put together a plan or two of his own. Then he could start recruiting allies.
