It was cold. Snow had covered the whole Seiretei, making it look wonderful. It was tempting to make a snowball and throw a passerby. But he didn´t have time. The mysterious arrancar, also known as Azeneth Claztio, was standing above Seiretei, unknown to the shinigami. He had used a special spell, only known to the assassination squad, to make him invisible.

He tightened his grip on his zanpukatou and jumped down. He had to find Hitsugaya Toshiro. That should be easy, when you think of his captain´s haori, his shortness and his white hair.

Meanwhile somewhere near the tenth division's barracks…

Hitsugaya was walking in deep thoughts. He was worried. When and how could he win Aizen´s trust? He was sure that he wouldn't be accepted without some trial. But he wasn´t sure what kind of trial it would be.

Suddenly he felt a reiatsu flare up. He flash stepped and just avoided a cero with 2 centimeters. In front of him an arrancar appeared. It was a male wearing a slight different uniform, compared to the normal arrancar uniforms. On the sleeves there was a symbol, a triangle with a sword in it. The arrancar had dark brown hair, and honey colored eyes. On his left shoulder there was a bone plate.

"What do you want from me?" Hitsugaya asked. He gripped the hilt of Hyourinmaru tightly, ready to unsheathe any moment.

"Aizen-sama wants to pass a message to you through me", the arrancar replied.

Hitsugaya was confused. What did Aizen want to tell him? Maybe it was a threat.

"The message is: Hitsugaya taicho. It has been a long time. Way to long. That´s why I am asking you to join me. With your power and intelligence, we can control the whole world together. If you deny, I will have to convince you. With force. So tell Azeneth your answer after the message. See ya."

Hitsugaya eyes widened. Join Aizen? Impossible, He would newer…Wait a second. He had completely forgotten the fact, that his mission was to go undercover. This was a golden opportunity. This way, if he volunteered, Aizen would trust him. When it became night, he could tell Ukitake everything. But until then…

"It would be my pleasure", Hitsugaya said with a wicked grin. Or at last he hoped it was wicked.

The arrancar was taken back. He had never thought that the ice prodigy would follow him willingly. He controlled his emotions and took a deep breath.

Behind him a portal opened, revealing the Hueco Mondo´s main hall.

"Please follow me", Azeneth said and jumped through the portal. Hitsugaya looked around himself to have a last gaze at Seiretei, but also to check that nobody was there to see him. Then he followed Azeneth.

He stepped into the main hall. Aizen was sitting on a throne at the other end. Hitsugaya was nervous. What if Aizen didn´t believe him and then ordered all his arrancars to attack him?. He was sure, that he couldn't survive if that happened. He calmed himself and stepped forward.

"I see that you have taken my offer", Aizen said with a smile. But Aizen was just as shocked as Azeneth. H would never have thought that Hitsugaya would accept the offer willingly. But he didn´t let him see it.

"Tch, did you think that I would stay with those losers. All they can do is talk all day long. If they could, they would start a war between themselves." Hitsugaya said with his arms crossed over his chest. "They see me as a child. A child with great powers, but nothing more than that. I´m sick of it. So I decided to switch side. At last you are taking me serious. "

Aizen was happy. No, he was more than that. He was filled with joy. With Hitsugaya on his side, he could do anything he wanted. And because he did it willingly, he didn´t have to test his loyalty. Oh joy.

"I am glad that you accepted the offer. Let us talk more about it tomorrow." Aizen said. "Azeneth take him to his room".

Azeneth bowed and made a sign to Hitsugaya to follow him. They walked through the many corridors, which felt like a maze. Finally they stopped in front of a door with an ice dragon carved on. Azeneth opened the door and they walked in. It was a clean room, colored with a nice ice blue color. There was a bed, a cabinet, a small desk, a sofa and a bookshelf with some books in it.

"This is your room. You´ll get a key so the other arrancar won´t steal your stuff. The bathroom is behind the other door."

Then Azeneth left Hitsugaya to explore his new room. Hitsugaya took a book from the bookshelf and sat on his sofa. It would be a long day…

Hi, again.

I´m sorry that all of my chapters are so short, but it doesn´t matter since I´m updating every day (Or at least I hope)

What does Aizen truly want to do with Hitsugaya? What will Soul Society do now?

Read to find out.

So, until then have sweet dreams

See ya
