Ichigo yawned as he and Shiro walked down to breakfast with Nel and her new 'pet' trailing behind them. Despite the fact that he was extremely tired Ichigo was internally buzzed with energy, today things began to unfold and even if all he would be was a spectator it still filled him with energy as he thought about what would be happening.
"You seem strangely tired" Shiro accused.
"I was up late thinking about how to get out of you plan to make me eat" Ichigo responded.
"Nel's plan is full proof" Nel called from the floor and the snake Nel had recently came into possession of hissed in agreement.
"That's why I was up all night" Ichigo said smiling down at the young girl. They entered the breakfast room. Shiro immediately grabbed Ichigo's arm and steered him to the breakfast bar. Ichigo placed a few eggs on his plate and some pancakes if only to keep Nel from crying again. Once Shiro was sure that Ichigo wouldn't die of starvation today he dragged his colorful twin to a table.
"Where's Nel?" Ichigo asked noticing the small girl's lack of presence.
"Who knows," Shiro dismissed as he dug into his meal. Ichigo wrinkled his nose at his brother's lack of manners and turned his attention to his own food. Before Ichigo was able to try his eggs a loud high pitched beep went off again and again making Ichigo reach up and cover his ears from the sudden noise. Shiro in the mean time let his eyes land on Aizen who was looking at him from across the room as Grimmjow jumped up laughing and ran out of the room with a few others following closely behind. As suddenly as the noise had started it stopped leaving a confused Ichigo sitting with his quickly cooling breakfast.
"What was that?" Ichigo asked looking over to his brother.
"That was our security system, it should be taken care of in a short amount of time" Aizen's voice answered from behind the two teens. Ichigo looked back over his shoulder at the older man and took in the too tight smile on his lips.
"What should Shiro and I do?" Ichigo asked noticing his brother's tense shoulders and guessing that the sound reminded him of when he escaped a compound much like this.
"Just stay here if you don't mind" Aizen responded sounding slightly detached. Ichigo nodded and turned back to his breakfast. The sound of thundering feet came to his ears at one point and a few cases of shouting and growling but other than that it was uneventful for the twins and other people who had stayed in the dining room.
"I think it's safe to say you can leave now" Aizen said addressing the whole room and everyone filed out including Ichigo and Shiro.
"You ok?" Ichigo asked his brother who was leaning on him as if he expected his legs to give out.
"Course, just a little shaky," Shiro responded trying to sound tough but failing at keeping the shake out of his voice. Ichigo chose to ignore it and continue to lead his brother to his room where they both sprawled out on the bed.
"You should have been with me" Shiro murmured against his brother's chest where he was cuddling into.
"I think things worked out so much more interesting this way" Ichigo joked trying to get his brother to smile. The sharp pain in his stomach where his brother was nuzzling told him that Shiro would be fine.
"Did you just bite me?" Ichigo asked irritated.
"Maybe, maybe not" Shiro sighed hopping up from Ichigo's bed.
"I'm going to go pester someone, don't stay in here all day" Shiro said walking out the door.
"Poor Gin" Ichigo joked to no one.
"Fox face deserves it" Nel said from where she was under Ichigo's bed.
"Did you get it from her" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, snakey wants to go for a walk" Nel added looking at the snake on her lap.
"Go for it, but be careful" Ichigo responded. Nel ran out of the room but stopped at the door to toss Ichigo the jump drive his infiltrator had given her.
Ichigo smirked down at the little electronic device no bigger than a large paper clip that was about to bring down two of the most powerful organizations in existence.
Meanwhile, Aizen was pacing in his office. The things that the little sneak had grabbed were valuable but could also be stolen from any super store.
"They didn't access any computers either so they were just after the tech." Starrk said from the couch he was sprawled on.
"I don't understand the logic behind this" Ulquorria said from where he was seated in the room across form Aizen.
"Sometimes there ain't no logic," Grimmjow growled; "sometimes it's just for an energy spike."
"Energy spike" Starrk huffed from his place on the couch.
"That doesn't make sense" Ulquorria argued.
"So?" Grimmjow sneered.
"This person didn't trip our alarm system until they were on their way out and that takes hours of careful planning and a massive amount of energy to knock our system offline" Ulquorria stated.
"Like I said, it was for an adrenalin rush, no fun in getting caught while you're getting in" Grimmjow dismissed as if that explained everything.
"We'll meet on this later on, right now I want to let this sit until we get more leads" Aizen dismissed. Something told him that Ichigo was doing something but he dismissed it. After all, the boy had no way of doing anything without a computer and there was no way for him to get to one without Aizen's permission or knowledge. "Just what's really going on" Aizen murmured looking at the picture that rested on his desk.
"Don't you wish you knew Aizen" Ichigo muttered as he looked over the conference room that the man stood in.
"Night Ichigo" Nel said from under his bed where she had taken up residence.
"Night Nel" Ichigo responded as he hit the 'send' button and watched all the information move from his computer to the computer of the President of America because of Ichigo's masterful hacking skills.

look I'm sorry for the wait and all the errors and the lack of response to you, my beta has finals and can't look over chapters until she knocks them out. I'll get around to responding to both this chapter and the next one in the next chapter, sorry once again.
Flames will be used to light my cave of solitude if you dare to post them.
