Chapter 7: Aizen and test
The tea was acceptable, tangy with a slight sweet taste. But it wasn't sweet enough for L's standards also there wasn't a cookie in sight or sweet cake or anything that can be considered fast food.
That was why he was dumping packets of sugar into his tea, saturating it.
"Ryuzaki-kun, is the tea not to your taste?"
L looked up, blinked at Aizen before going back to dumping even more sugar into his tea. "Needs more sugar."
The tea looked like a mound of sand was in it. That was how much sugar he was putting in it. It was at a point in which the water could no longer dissolve the bonds in the sugar molecules.
Aizen coughed politely. "Shall we begin?"
He wasn't mad or irritated per say but he was slightly, very slightly, frowning at the pile of empty sugar packets and the full tea cup that has yet to be drunk. It wasn't that at all rather it was the way Aizen couldn't read Ryuzaki. The shinigami in current possession of Ulquiorra's body seemed like a child with ADD or one of little intelligence and yet Aizen knew Ryuzaki was very clever.
Time for a test or two.
"Ryuzaki-kun do you mind if I ask you to take these tests?" Aizen asked, pulling out some paper and writing utensils. The tests were ones he took from the Academy, ones that measured appitude and such.
L peered up from his sugar dumping activity. A challenge, a test, a puzzle to solve, L reasoned it was most likely something to test his mind to see if he was a threat to them. To take them would mean exposing his intelligence and most likely give Aizen another clue into who he might have been as a human. L also reasoned that if he proved to actually be worth keeping then Aizen might hound him or trick him into working for Aizen's cause.
L needed more information. Ulquirora was willing to share but did not know as much as L wanted. That means L needed to stay longer and somehow gain Aizen's trust without compromising who L was morally. This was looking like the Kira investigation all over again except the stakes were much higher.
L did not want to overthrow Aizen or go against him. In the mindscape while Ulquiorra could not read his mind, Ulquiorra could suppress him or dominate him making L sleep again, making L unable to Live. So he must do what his brain is telling him is the best course of action.
As L thought, thumb in mouth, head tilted to the ceiling Aizen watched for every twitch and movement that Ryuzaki made. Body language said much and right now, it was telling Aizen that Ryuzaki was something different. In a way, at that moment, Ryuzaki reminded Aizen of Wonderwice, the way the body was positioned.
Which made Aizen wonder if Wonderwice had something hidden in him, underneath the somewhat retarded outer personality. Maybe he should ask Tousen about Wonderwice, the blind shinigami had certainly taken a shine to the boy.
"May I ask why?" It was Ulquiorra's voice but Aizen knew his Espada long enough to be able to tell the difference through accent and tone. He did notice that Ryuzaki was clearly learning how to mimic the tone and applauded him inwardly. No matter, Ulquiorra would hold the reins tight on his shinigami visitor.
"Please indulge me." Aizen pushed the papers across the table. "Something so that we will get to know each other better."
Ryuzaki looked at the paper, scanned it and picked up the writing utensil. It would just be like any other IQ test...but seriously what is a hell butterfly?
Sadly Ulquiorra could only offer sparse knowledge.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
