Soifon escorted Gin and Byakuya to Gin's residence. They went in to the house and Gin went his bedroom and started to pack his clothes. It was decided that Gin would stay with Byakuya until this ordeal is over. He started to pack when Soifon asked Gin to take an inventory of his clothes.

"How many issued kimonos do you have?" Soifon asked.

"Fourteen. I have one on, three at Byakuya's, one in the laundry and," Gin said as he counted, "Five here."

"That is ten. You are missing four, Soifon said, "How about these?"

"Those are mine," Byakuya said as he packed his clothes with Gin's.

"How about your haori? Are you missing any?"

'I have one on. Three at Byakuya's. One in the laundry and one here. I was issued seven."

"You are missing one," Soifon said.

Gin continued to pack. He tried to hurry. When he got all he wanted to take, Soifon got a few guards to carry Gin belongings to Byakuya's house.

"I am ready to get out of here. Can I go now?" Gin asked Soifon

"Yes, you can. Please make sure you are not alone. We will keep you updated on our progress."

Gin went to Byakuya and placed his arms around him. They hugged each other and Gin whispered that he does not want to come back to this house. Byakuya placed his hand under Gin's chin and lifted his face and kissed him. He grabbed Gin's hand and they walked out of the house.

Two Weeks Later

Gin was sitting at his desk going over paperwork. He was not paying attention when he looked up and saw Aizen standing in the doorway.

"Welcome back. How are you doing?"

"I am fine. And you?" Gin replied back.

"Fine," as Aizen walked in and sat on the corner of his desk. "I want to commend you on how well your division preformed during your absence."

"Thank you. Izuru-fukutaichou is very good with the troops. They trust him a lot. That comes in handy during combat situations," Gin said as he continued to go over his paperwork.

"Well, since I helped you, I think that you owe me the pleasure of your company over dinner." Aizen said with a seductive grin on his face.

"I have to check my calendar," Gin sarcastically said as he continued to go over his paperwork.

"You mean you have to ask Byakuya. All I am asking for is dinner. Just one time," he said as he got closer to Gin.

Gin sat back and crossed his arm over chest. Aizen looked at him and saw the ring.

"Oh, we got married on your vacation?"

"None of your business," Gin said as he hid his hand.

"Good Morning Ichimaru taichou," Kira said as he bowed, "Good Morning Aizen taichou."

"Good Morning Kira-fukutaichou," they both replied in unison.

"Well, I guess I better go. You enjoy your day. I will see you at dinner tonight," Aizen said as he left the office.

"I didn't say I was…" Gin said.

"Tonight" Aizen said as he waived back at Gin.

Later in the afternoon, a hell's butterfly came to Gin. I was a message from Byakuya. He would be in a meeting for the rest of the day and late in the evening. He wanted to make sure that he would have someone to walk him home. He replied back that he would do so and not to worry.

Gin sat and contemplated should he go to dinner with Aizen. He knew that Aizen helped him get the consideration for captain. Yes, he was creepy to him but it was nothing going on between them. He knew Byakuya would be mad but he trusted his judgment. He knew that he could take care of himself. That is why they get along so well. That is why they love each other.

When the evening came, Gin walked across the hall to Kira desk.

"Kira, I need a favor from you."

"Anything, Ichimaru taichou," Kira replied.

"I am going to dinner with Aizen taichou at his residence. I would like for you to come and get me and walk me home. I want you to come about a half hour after I leave. Can you do that for me?" Gin asked with his famous smile.

"Of course sir," Kira said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Thank you, Kira."

Later that evening, Aizen came to Gin's office.

"Are you ready?" Aizen asked as he stood in the door.

"I can only stay for a short time. I am expected at home soon," Gin said.

"I will get you home."

Gin got up and walked passed Aizen into the hallway. He said good night to Kira and nodded his head. Kira nodded back. Aizen looked at Kira and smiled.

Kira watched as Aizen and Gin walked in the court yard from his window. Kira watched as Gin kept his arms over his chest. Aizen looked at Gin like he just wanted to touch Gin. It was an awkward seen to Kira. He turned around and continued to do his paperwork.

Byakuya was in a meeting with Renji when Soifon knocked and asked to speak to him. She wanted to update him on the case. He excused Renji and informed him that they may need to reschedule.

Aizen escorted Gin to the table that was set for a quiet meal. He brought the food and the drinks out.

"I don't care for anything to drink," as he waived off the suki cup.

"Come now only one drink. I know that you don't drink much but one cup will not hurt you," Aizen said as he pushed the cup on Gin.

Gin knew that Kira would be coming to get him soon. Gin took the cup and swallowed the suki.

Soifon told Byakuya the details of the murders.

"The last victim was had everything but the shoes. I feel the next victim would be a complete. A complete person would be Gin. I do not know if he will strike but the way this shinigami is progressing, I feel Gin is the next or the last victim," Soifon said.

Byakuya started to search for Gin spiritual pressure.

Kira was getting ready to leave when Shuhei came in his office.

"Kira, we are going out for drinks. Wanna come along?" he asked his friend.

"I got plans already. But if I get through early, I stop by," Kira said as he was looking at the things on his desk.

"You're sure?" Shuhei said. "You seem to be preoccupied about something."

Gin sat at the table. He started to feel light headed. He could not focus. He shook his head. He looked at Aizen. He started to rub his eyes. Aizen was talking to him but he could not understand what he was saying.

"Relax Gin. I will take care of you," Aizen's distorted voice said as he came toward Gin.

Gin knew he had to get out of the house. He tried to get up but his legs were not listening to him.

"Get away from me!" Gin yelled and was crawling toward the door.

Everything was spinning and the door kept moving. Gin took all his will to make to the door. He almost made to the door when he felt a hand around his ankle. He turned and it was Aizen pulling him. Gin yelled.

As Gin struggled, the door flew open.
