The interview with Ukitake and Gin was going to take place in a small quaint restaurant in Karakura. Gin and Ukitake had small talk going on as Byakuya, who tagged along so that he could be close to Gin and also the two had a date after the interview.

Byakuya was on the phone talking to his vice president and assistant over the plans for the warehouse for Gin's company and the auditorium for Gin's spring show. As he spoke on the phone, he would a quick smile at Gin as he would smile back and then play 'footsy' with his leg which would a reaction of a wink from Byakuya.

Ukitake knew that he was doing something good between those two because, this was the first time that Byakuya actually warmed up to someone that wanted him for him. After they returned from Rome, they have been out several times but neither told how far the relationship has gone.

Within minutes, Tamika came in with Aizen. She made her way to Ukitake, who she gave a kiss on the cheek and then she hugged Byakuya. She sat next to Gin, which would force Aizen to sit between her and Ukitake. She introduced Aizen to everyone they all were seated.

"I see you are cock blocking again Tamika," Aizen whispered in her ears as she began to laugh.

"Only you Aizen, only you," she whispered back to him. She ordered her food because she did not want to be there but Gin wanted her there.

When the interview started, Aizen had positioned himself so that he could see Gin and Byakuya. He wanted to watch the interaction between the two.

Everyone at the table watch the interaction of the two. Even Kyoraku, who joined the group half way through the interview, noticed the interaction between Gin and Byakuya. He wanted to see Aizen and see if he could get a read from him.

Tamika did not say much during the interview because Gin is the face of the company in this area. He has to be able to handle these interviews. She thinks he has done well so far. She also noticed that Aizen was becoming angry as he too looked at Gin and Byakuya.

Suddenly, Gin grabbed Tamika's arm. She knew what was about to happen. She stood and reached in her bag and dropped money on the table. "This will take care of my tab and Gin's. Byakuya can you carry Gin to my car." She whispered in Gin's ear and let him know that she was there.

Everyone confused about what was going on, Byakuya was about to ask when Tamika gave him a look. He stopped.

"Please, Byakuya, carry Gin to my car." Tamika spoke in an authoritarian but soft voice.

Byakuya scooped Gin in his arms and carried him to her car. When he placed Gin in her car, he noticed Gin eyes were closed and he was crying. He kissed him on the forehead. He looked at Tamika who was cranking the car when she looked at him.

"Thank you, Byakuya." Tamika gave a slight smile.

Byakuya closed the door and watched Tamika take Gin away. He came back into the restaurant and sat down. Ukitake grabbed his hand and started to ask what happened.

"Is Gin okay?" Ukitake asked. "What happened?"

Aizen watched as Byakuya was a little upset. He knew that Gin had headaches but he never knew to what extent. Tamika knew something and she got Gin out. It was that action that impressed him that no matter what she says, she is his protector. No one, not even Byakuya, will totally get next to Gin. Not as long as she is there.

Ukitake saw Aizen and noticed he was little shaken by what happened. Ukitake got up and walked to him. He placed his hand on his shoulder. "Is it possible we can reschedule this interview for later after we find out what happened with Gin?"

Aizen got himself together and agreed with Ukitake and stated that he will be waiting on his call. He dropped money on the table for his tab and left the group.

Ukitake looked at Kyoraku with a puzzled look. He knew that Ukitake is very sensitive to people's aura. He knew Gin was the one for Byakuya and, from the look on his face, Aizen is not who he seems to be. Byakuya walked to Ukitake and hugged him.

"You ready to go?"

Ukitake nodded yes and both Byakuya and Kyoraku escorted him out of the restaurant.

Tamika took Gin straight to Kurosaki Clinic. She pulled her car in an empty spot next to the door. Isshin and his son, Ichigo, were waiting for them. Ichigo carried Gin from the car to the examining room.

Tamika tried to follow in them into the room but Isshin held up his hand to stop her. He closed the door in front of her.

She paced back and forth as she thought about the headaches Gin had been having. She rubbed the back of her neck as she thought about the intensity and frequency of the attacks he had. He had not had one since that night. She thought about how he bounced back. Then she thought about how he did not have an attack with Byakuya.

"Ms. Dee," Isshin came out of the examining room, "He is asleep. Go and check on him. I want him to spend the night here. I will bring a cot for you because I know you want to stay with him. Come to my office after you go in and check on him."

Tamika walked in the room to see Gin. He was in a tight fetal position that let her know that he was really hurting. She a hand on him and whispered that she was there and no one would hurt him. She will be there with him. She gave him a kiss on his head. This time he did not move. As she left the room, Ichigo came in with a cot for her. She walked down the hall to Isshin's office.

Isshin came in and sat behind his desk.

"Gin has had a severe migraine attack. What was he doing before the attack?"

"We had lunch with a business partner and an interview with a magazine. He was fine and then he had an attack." Tamika thought about the events of the afternoon.

Isshin looked at her as he closed Gin's file. He leaned forward on his desk and spoke in a low tone.

"Don't worry Tamika; Ichigo will sit with him until we are finish. He won't let anyone or anything bother him." Isshin looked at Tamika. He knew that her thoughts were with Gin. "Now, Dee taichou, you know me and Kisuke are your back up. You are not out there by yourself. You knew Gin would go through this when it was reported that Aizen forced him to the human world. I guess by now, Byakuya has come into the picture and both he and Aizen will have to fight for him. It going to hurt him but your primary job is to protect him."

Tamika smiled because her friend from way back was there to help her. "You know, Kurosaki taichou, I like Gin. I hate to see him hurt but this has to happen to get Aizen. Now the game is on."
