"How?" He said with a fake smile, looking at her.
"There is a way… I should say… There's only one way…" Kuchiki Rukia picked up her sword pointed at him, "You must become a Shinigami."
"Fine," Aizen said, trying to sound reasonable.
"By placing the tip of my Zanpakutō over your heart I will transmit half of my powers into you temporarily."
The smile on his face was getting closer and closer to coming out and revealing his true intentions. Everything was going according to plan. He couldn't screw up now. There was no other option but to play the role of the mask once more. He had to continue and one day face off against Sōsuke Aizen, if he even existed in this world. Who would have thought that the only one that could test his power was himself? But would it work? He gulped.
"There's no time to think about it, pierce me with that sword, Shinigami."
"It's not Shinigami. My name is Rukia Kuchiki."
Chapter Two
A Night to Remember
He lunged for her sword. A glow lit up the skies and the street. For a moment, all was silent. Shinigami's clothes once again adorned his soul-body. In his hand he held a Zanpakutō that resembled a normal katana with a green handle. He stood in his space, calm. The wind and dust cleared as the Hollow headed towards him. With a swift swing of his sword, his power went straight out, cutting the Hollow in half and destroying the road all the way to the end of the street. All the windows in the neighborhood exploded. His power had returned. Finally, he was no longer weak body. When he turned to look at Rukia, she had a very surprised look on her face.
"Captain? Captain Aizen, what are you doing here?" asked Rukia. Aizen had a puzzled look. In one of the nearby cars he saw he had scholarly brown hair, along with soft brown eyes. And he wore the standard Shinigami uniform.
"Where is the boy?"
"Don't worry." Aizen said, placing a hand over the front of her face, putting Rukia to sleep.
With his hands inside his Shinigami clothes, he strolled down the street. And with a single wave of his hand, a white lightning bolt shot out from his finger and destroyed a small fly that was standing on the corner, observing. He had used the same Kidō spell Rukia had used earlier. How could he forget when it was the same fly he had placed to watch Ichigo's growth? Now he knew not only that there was another Sosuke Aizen in this world, but that he also knows of his existence. A minor mistake, but one that could almost fall into his plans. Not only would this keep the other Aizen confused, but Soul Society would become suspicious of the event that occurred. They would surely have a meeting to investigate the why behind the reason the Captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13 would saved Rukia from transferring her powers to a human.
Aizen turned around and took the body of Kurosaki Ichigo's sisters into the house. He took the sisters to the second floor and placed them in their beds and came down for his body. Releasing his body on the bed, he stared at him immobilized, helpless, almost dead. This could work. He had to increase the strength of the Fullbring in his body before trying to fuse it with his Shinigami powers or the spiritual energy could destroy the body. It seemed to be the only way he could use the powers of Kurosaki Ichigo; he had to be inside the human body, like that peculiar first substitute Shinigami, Kugo Ginjo.
He then inserted his soul back into Ichigo's body.
When he went down the stairs and came outside, there was a man standing next to Rukia, who was still sleeping on the floor. The tall and thin man, with fair skin and gray eyes, messy and light blonde hair, wore a dark green Shihakushō. More peculiar was his dark green and white striped bucket hat. His hat covered his eyes, but he knew... those eyes were looking at him. As if they could see into his soul.
"Mr. Kurosaki, you woke up too soon. Please go back to sleep would you?" The man said with a huge smile on his face.
And there it was, provoking him. Which made Aizen want to yell at that fool, but he always showed his calm side. Then, something very important came to his mind, Kurosaki was the opposite of him. If he kept quiet, he would be more suspicious of him.
"Hey, is she okay? Who are you..." Aizen's lies got cut in half as Urahara Kisuke lunged at him with his cane pointed at his forehead with the symbol used to remove souls from a body or gigai. He dodged to the side and jumped back.
Did he suspect something? Or maybe he wanted to check if Ichigo had taken Rukia's shinigami powers?
"Oh, your powers are already developing? I see that putting you to sleep will not be an option. Listen. Did you see a man in black and white robes with glasses around here?"
He knew it. Kisuke Urahara had felt his spiritual energy. But was the spiritual energy inside Ichigo's body different, or was he playing with it?
"What are you talking about? You just try to hit me now!?" he shouted from his lungs. A good act, ten out of ten if he would give himself points for the performance.
Kisuke Urahara stood up with a different demeanor, brought his cane forward, and from inside he drew his sword. His Zanpakutō. He knew, impossible, there was no way. In seconds, Kisuke Urahara appeared above him and as an automatic reaction a great spiritual energy, black with red, came out of his body, blocking his sword and covering the whole room. The energy threw even the father of Kurosaki Ichigo, Shiba Isshin, to the other side of the room.
"What are you doing?" asked Aizen inside Ichigo's body.
"It's almost ready. I can't leave it to chance." Answered Kisuke Urahara.
Both Aizen's hands and Urahara's sword pointed at the ground with immense force.
"Don't move," said Kisuke Urahara.
And then, the collision turn into an explosion, a blast erupted and fire and smoke poured out of the house.
When the smoke cleared, Kisuke Urahara was on the ground, all burned with his clothes torn part. He had absorbed the energy from the explosion. Now Ichigo's body was covered in Shinigami clothing that moved like black flames, and in his hand he held a black sword. On his chest were white lines. Could it be that Kisuke Urahara did not suspect him? That he didn't know his true intentions?
Speaking of the devil, he turned around on the ground to face him.
"Whew, that was close. I'm sorry. That spiritual energy was much greater than mine and I had to force you to develop your Fullbring powers prematurely. On the other hand, who would have known what would have happened if your powers had awakened with no Shinigami around to absorb the detonation. Perhaps, Karakura Town would not be on the map."
"Yes," said Aizen in the voice of Ichigo.
Kisuke Urahara had stopped his plans to destroy Karakura Town and create the King's key for now.
