A/N: And this Chapter will be the 'golden trio'. I actually found last Chapter surprisingly hard to write, I wasn't sure whether Aizen should trust Gin or suspect him, I decided to give Gin's acting skills some credit, though, since I don't think any of us saw Chapter 415 coming (I really wish that had gone differently). Also, since Aizen seems like more of a negative spirit to me, it was hard to write him actually like someone. Well, kind of like someone in his manipulative, twisted way.

Chapter Four- Kira Izuru, Abarai Renji and Hinamori Momo

Aizen POV

Ah, the golden trio. I knew that they would also play roles in my plan. When I first met them and saved their lives, building that bond of trust and dependence that would make them live for me. I would make it so that they trusted me so absolutely that they would do anything for me, that they couldn't do anything without me.

I had then realised that Renji Abarai already had a goal; defeat Kuchiki Byakuya. That was something that went right along with my plans. Not to mention that Renji- for all his apparent stupidity- was more inclined to judge and look at things cynically than his two trusting friends. He would actually dig, try and figure out what I was doing. That couldn't happen.

Renji Abarai had to go.

I sent him to Kuckiki's squad where he would be so focused on his opponent that he wouldn't see me. He would concentrate so hard on how evil Byakuya was that he would never stick his nose into my affairs.

It had worked perfectly too, when I faked my murder Abarai hadn't even turned his eye my way, he was too focused on the Ryoka and the Kuchiki clan to notice how his two friends were falling around him. I doubt he even saw them when they sat beside his deathbed as Kuchiki declared he would receive no medical treatment (I got Gin to intervene on that, the boy was to amusing for me to let him die). He just kept blindly stumbling forwards, hurting his friends in the process.

Not to mention every tear he made Hinamori shed was a tear I 'dried' increasing her dependence on me more and more and more.

Kira Izuru went to Gin, and he was suitably shattered by Gin's disappearance. His reaction was nowhere near as fun as Hinamori's though.

Speaking of Hinamori Momo, I'll take a moment to congratulate myself on finding the perfect pawn. She was totally dependent on me, and she would do anything for me. I was actually legitimately shocked when I found out she was still alive and kind-of well. After betraying her trust, forcing her to turn against her friend, and then putting her in a coma for two months I was expecting her to be driven completely insane.

Frankly, I blame Hitsugaya for her recovery. If I had really wanted to drive her insane, then I should have killed him. Leaving him alive left her too much support.

Although, I think I did enough of a number on her already.

I'll mention now that we long ago hacked into Seiritei communications systems. Including the one the advanced guard used to communicate with the Soutaicho.

And watching Hinamori beg Hitsugaya to save me had to be the most entertaining thing I had ever seen. The look of pure hope on Hinamori's face when she asked him, and then the look of horror on his. Perfect. And then the Captain Commander, being the compassionate leader he was, knocking Hinamori out before she had a chance to 'corrupt' her friend further. . . well, I guess I did some damage after all.
