A/N: The three mysteries of the Bleach Universe are up next, hope you enjoy.
Chapter Fourteen- Urahara Kisuke, Shihoin Yoruichi and Kurosaki Isshine
Aizen POV
I always had one group of people in my mind; worrying about when they would decide to act, worrying about if they could defeat me. Those three people were Urahara, Shihoin and Kurosaki Isshine. They knew my plan, they knew what I was capable of. That was why I had them all exiled and sent to the world of the living. But I knew that even in the world of the living they were capable of meddling, whether it be by building a senkeimon or sending someone to do it for them.
Imagine my surprise when they chose to do nothing, to wait to see if their predictions would come true.
When Kurosaki Ichigo came I assumed he was sent by them; after all, trained by Kisuke, guarded by Yoruichi and born by Isshine . . . he was a child of their combined effort. But then I told him my assumption and he had looked stunned. I don't think he even knows just who his role models are on this very day. Not even his own father.
No, instead Kurosaki Ichigo acted on his own accord, forced them out of their inactiveness in the nick of time for them- and at the worst time for me.
It's still too late for them though.
They've lost years in this great race due to their inactiveness, they've even allowed their skills to become weak. If anything, their inactiveness proves they are nowhere near my level. A god requires no leader such as Kurosaki Ichigo to stir them into action like they did. A true god such as myself is capable of acting of his own accord, of setting his own path for himself.
That being said, I wouldn't put it past Urahara Kisuke to be withholding his biggest weapon for the end, and therefore I will not become lax around them. It would be a foolhardy thing to do, and while Urahara may not be capable of becoming a god himself he is more than capable of slaying one.
After all, any child can knock down a sandcastle someone else has painstakingly built; only an adult can build one though.
Destruction takes so much less effort than creation.
