Chapter 5: Who is Monsuta?
Renji stayed after with the headmaster and the ryoka whom had awaken. He held the boy in his place on the ground as the male looked towards Aizen who stood and watched. He gave a stern look to the boy and the captured male looked away, simply understanding what he was allowed to do and not do while being captured.
The male looked towards the headmaster who was now in front of him. "What's your name?" he questioned. He stared up at the elderly man and swallowed slightly. "Monsuta.." He answered, glancing back at Renji. Renji pulled the male up to his feet and held his arms behind his back. "Monsuta.. Monster... now who would give you a name like that?" The leader questioned. The boy named Monsuta looked at the male and shrugged. "That's what I've been called for as long as I can remember. My parents left me to live on my own. I just showed up here suddenly... That's when I found Abarai-kun... I had heard in the town that he was one of the best fighters in Soul Society.. We fought and I beat him." He answered, cockiness beginning to hint in his voice. "Th-that's not true! You were defeated by m-" "By your captain!" Monsuta interrupted the male with his correction. "If Kuchiki-chan didn't show up, you would have been dead." he answered with a smirk.
"Never mind about how you got here, Monsuta. You do understand that we cannot let you walk out of here so simply, correct?" The leader questioned the male. Monsuta gave a hesitant nod, glancing at Aizen who had kept his glare on the male. He shifted his eyes away and spoke to the leader. "Yes sir.." he answered shamefully. The leader looked to the red headed lieutenant and gave a nod. "Take him to the Cell for now." he ordered. He then turned to Aizen and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Go with them. The child seems to fear you. Make sure he doesn't run off or get away." He ordered to the brunette male. Aizen simply nodded and turned, heading out the door behind Renji.
The trip to the cell was silent and grim. Not a word was spoken from either of the three males. Occasionally, Monsuta looked back at Aizen as if expecting him to do something. He was simply answered by Aizen's blank expression. Monsuta would frown, getting frustrated. Abarai was forceful with the young prisoner as if to get back at him for being beaten in their fight.
