A/N: Frankly, I can't stand Mayuri. Really, the way he behaves just irritates the hell out of me. I understand he's an interesting character, but I still can't stand him. He's one of my friends favourite characters though, so we argue about it quite frequently. Anywhoo, on with the story. You all know the drill by now, read and review.
Chapter Twelve- Squad Twelve
Aizen POV
Back in the days when Kisuke Urahara ran it, I actually considered Squad Twelve to be a threat. Now though . . . now it was more like some kind of sick joke. While they did make a couple of breakthroughs, Kurotsuchi refused to share the information with the other Squads. He was a self-centered, paranoid and near-schizophrenic fool. How someone like him got to be a Captain I will never know.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi caused more casualties among the Gotei Thirteen than I did, and that says something since I've killed nearly fifty Shinigami with my own hands, and about five-hundred with my experiments.
I debated killing him on my way out of the Seiritei, you know, do the Shinigami a favour in return for betraying them. Unfortunately he was a pile of goop at the time, so killing him would have been more trouble than it was worth.
Although, given what I have done to Hinamori this may sound hypocritical, it was tempting to kill him anyways just because of the way he treated his Lieutenant. I was ashamed to be considered the same rank and status as him, and I was just pretending to be a Captain.
No matter how things go, Kurotsuchi will be one Captain that no one will be disappointed to see die.
Hell, even if I don't kill him someone else is.
What, you think the other Captains actually like him?
As if, I think I discovered at least nine different plots to kill the man when I was in the Seiritei.
At least I can rest in peace knowing that I probably won't have to deal with him before I kill the Soul King, another of the Captains will have dealt with him long, long before I get there.
