Chapter Three: Do you like what you see?
Gin watched the footage of Ichigo Kurosaki attacking the Espada carefully. The hollow was good. His movements appeared effortless, like a dancer. When he fought, he was ruthless, cold, uncaring. Gin couldn't help but laugh at the look of surprise on Ulquiorra's face when the hollow just ceroed him out of the way. He rewound the footage and found it just as funny as the first time.
"Having fun Gin?"
Gin looked behind him, in the doorway stood Sousuke. He was watching the screen, a slight smile on his face. "Good morning Sou-Chan!" He grinned watching as Aizen stopped beside him, his eyes fixated on the screen. "Would ya look at that, looks like ya don' have ta go lookin' fer the kid. He came right to ya."
Aizen smiled, "It looks like I have a prisoner to talk to."
Not like he'll be one fer long. Gin thought watching as Aizen left the room. Turning back around he changed the screen to show Aizen walking down towards the prison wing.

Aizen found himself lost in his thoughts, quickly thinking of the chances of him joining, and the possible scenarios that could happen if he did.
That boy is the only one who has a chance of defeating me. Aizen smirked. He had known about the boy since his birth, but hadn't had a chance to kidnap the boy. Isshin had been too protective. Even Grand Fisher hadn't worked. Instead the mother had been killed and the boy was saved, albeit a little traumatized. Then Rukia came along. Without her giving her powers to Ichigo, he would never have gotten the hogyoku so easily. Aizen smirked. Those idiots were too busy looking for the Ryoka, I wonder if they regret not listening to Urahara so long ago? The boy was powerful; he defeated so many captains, some with such ease. He had meant to take the boy with him when they were at the sokyoku hill, too bad the other shinigami decided to intervene, forcing him to leave the boy there.
Aizen stopped in front of the boy's cell.
If only he could find a way to control that power.

"But then again, you did bring me back Neliel Tu Oderschvank." Ichigo looked up at him in surprise, making Aizen smile. "I had wondered what happened to her, although she needs to get her body back before she can become one of my espada again."
"What are you going to do to me?" Aizen sat down in a chair and smirked at Ichigo who glared at him through the bars.
"That depends on what you want me to do. You could join me," Ichigo snorted at that. "Be my guest here, or remain a prisoner until the war is over."
Ichigo frowned and stared at Aizen warily. "What's the difference between them?"
Aizen smiled. "If you worked for us, you would be sent out either across the desert or in meno's forest in order to find hollows you think would be useful enough to join my Arrancars. You would not be required to fight in the war, and I would spare your family. If you decide to be my guest, you would be under watch and your powers sealed, not allowed to leave anyone's sight, but your family would suffer for your pride. A pet, if you will." Aizen smirked at the look of anger on Ichigo's face. "On the other hand, if you decided to be neither of these, we would execute you. Again it is your choice."
"You would spare my family? What about friends?" Ichigo hesitated, he wanted so badly to be able to protect everyone, not just his family.
You should worry about yourself instead king; Aizen is giving you a lot here. If we join them we don't have to fight and your family would be safe. It's a nice deal.
Ichigo frowned, Why did you want to come here anyways?
There was a lot of reitsu, it felt safe and I needed company, any company. Shiro shrugged, his anger had slowly disappeared after a few days in that desert, and he had wanted a place to settle down in that was safe for the both of them.
"Yes, but only your family. No one else. Your sisters would be brought here along with your father before the war begins. You will be allowed to visit them whenever you want along with Orihime-Chan. Is that acceptable?"
Ichigo closed his eyes, quickly thinking his options through. The first one was the best choice, his family would be saved, the second was like the first except he would get nothing out of it, and he would never consider the last one. At least Aizen wouldn't make him join the war. "I will work for you." With those five words he felt as if he were condemning himself.
Aizen stood up and touching the cell door watched it fade away. "Let us go and get you settled in."

Neither said anything as they walked down the white hallways, and yet it was a comfortable silence. Ichigo was one step behind Aizen who seemed to prefer it, not that Ichigo was complaining just yet. Too tired to care about something that seemed so insignificant. Instead his thoughts wandered elsewhere. The war, Orihime, the Arrancar, Renji…Ichigo sighed and looked closely at the walls. They were pure white. The walls smooth, no texture and no color. A boring place. Ichigo thought. Hope our room has more color than this. Shiro laughed.
"So where is Orihime?"
"She is living away from the other Arrancars, near the Espadas rooms. Ulquiorra brings her meals, but she has no company other than that. I do not allow any fraccion or numerous near her room. It's for her protection."
"Makes sense," Ichigo smiled, "Although she probably wouldn't understand why. When can I visit her?"
"I would ask you wait until tomorrow, with your…rampage she has had a lot of work. I'm sure she is tired." Ichigo winced and looked down at the ground. Great, I bet Orihime thinks you killed me.
Yes, blame me for everything, Shiro snorted.
Neither said anything for a while. Ichigo glanced over at Aizen, he was still curious as to why the man was letting him stay here, but not join the war.
"Why am I not fighting for you in the war?"
Aizen stopped and faced Ichigo. "I am not going to lie, I would like you to. After all, you have already defeated many captains and vice-captains, and although I doubt you would be able to defeat the Sou-Taichou just yet, I think with a little training you would be invaluable to our cause."
"Then…" Aizen held up a hand.
"Can you kill your friends in cold blood? Watch them die knowing you were the one who did it? I don't expect you to, at least not yet. I would rather you stay out of the war. The job I have given you is hard. There aren't very many hollows left that are strong enough to join. Many of my espada have failed to bring anything in as of late, but perhaps you might succeed." Aizen nodded to the wall. "This is your room, if you would like anything changed, don't hesitate to call an Arrancar."
Ichigo glanced at the wall. "Er…where's the door?"
Aizen laughed. "Just walk up to the wall." Ichigo gave him a stupid look. Turning towards the wall he walked up to it and to his surprise a part of the wall moved up making a rectangular hole. Ichigo walked in.
The room was sparse; a bed was against the far wall in front of a window overlooking the sunny skies of Las Noches, a table was off to the right side of the room with chairs around it. An empty bookshelf next to a couch was against the left side of the room and next to it an open door showing a tiled floor and part of a bathtub.
"Whenever you get hungry or need anything, just touch this panel and specify what you want." Ichigo looked back at Aizen, noticing he was indicating a square panel set into the wall. "Meals can be served here or if you would like to meet the rest of my espada, there is a cafeteria on the first floor."
"I'm going to get lost." Ichigo mumbled, feeling like a child.
"Many do, and it probably doesn't help that Gin likes to change the hallways."
"I'm definitely going to get lost." Ichigo frowned. "What if I get into a fight?"
"Thinking of Grimmjow? All I ask is that you take it outside. I have no problem with fighting." Ichigo nodded and glanced towards the bathroom. He wanted to take a shower so bad.
"I will leave you to your bath," Aizen turned to leave. "Your new clothes will be coming in soon, I hope you will wear them." With that he was gone.
Ichigo stared after him. Not quiet understanding why the man came here himself.
Maybe he thought it would help you get settled in better. Shiro pointed out.
Ichigo shrugged and walked into the bathroom, he couldn't wait for a nice long bath.

Grimmjow stalked down the hallways of Las Noches in a bad mood, he was still pissed off about the shinigami attacking him and having to be saved by Ulquiorra. Bitch just looked at me like I was stupid. Hearing footsteps behind him Grimmjow sped up. To his annoyance, the footsteps got louder. Grimmjow growled in the back of his throat, he was going to kill whoever was following him. Stopping he whirled around quickly. To his annoyance it was Nnoitra. The bastard had a big grin on his face, looking like he had just found out something funny.
"So, did you hear?" Grimmjow glared at Nnoitra.
"No, apparently I didn't." Grimmjow snarled and went back to stalking the halls, hoping to find some Arrancar stupid enough to be out tonight. Grimmjow grinned, he's slaughter them.
"Aizen's letting the kid stay here." Grimmjow stopped. "Szayel told me his job will be to find hollows that he thinks are worth joining."
"Where." Nnoitra frowned.
"What?"
"Where is he!" That bitch, he's going to pay. I don't care if it was his hollow, Grimmjow grinned. He was going to enjoy this.
Nnoitra frowned. "Heard he was staying by Aizen's rooms. Don't know which one exactly." Nnoitra looked up and was annoyed to see Grimmjow was already gone. "Ah well, guess I'll go check up on Szayel."

Reaching out for Ichigo's reitsu, Grimmjow sonidoed towards where he felt the boy's power originate from. Stopping in front of a wall he ceroed it, watching as the wall caved in creating a smoking hole. Stepping through the hole in the wall, he heard sounds of splashing coming from another door. With a grin he kicked the door in.

Ichigo sighed leaning back in the bathtub. He had scrubbed himself so hard his skin was chafing, but it felt so good to finally be clean. Suddenly a loud crash drew his attention. What the hell was that? Ichigo stood up quickly and got out of the tub. Grabbing a towel he draped it around his waist before quickly walking towards the door. Suddenly the door was gone with a whoosh. Surprised Ichigo looked behind him to see the door had embedded itself into the opposite wall. Shocked Ichigo dropped the towel and looked up.
In the doorway stood Grimmjow, a shit-eating grin on his face. Ichigo just stared as Grimmjow walked towards him.
"What the hell?" Ichigo whispered in shock. Angered he snarled out. "What the hell do you want!"
Grimmjow stopped, blinking in surprise. The boy was naked? Was he taking a bath? Grimmjow grinned again, this time for a different reason. Kids hot. With his anger cooling off quickly, Grimmjow found himself growing hard as he looked the boy over.
Ichigo blushed noticing the espadas roving eyes. Without thinking about it he found himself looking Grimmjow over.
The espada was hot. Grimmjow's arms were heavily muscled, his jacket slightly open showing off his abs which rippled slightly when he moved. Ichigo found himself looking lower until he was staring at him…suddenly Ichigo was painfully aware he was still naked, and getting aroused. Blushing he backed up quickly.
Grimmjow grinned when he spotted the boys half hard length. Leaning against the door frame he spoke.
"Do out like what you see?"
Ichigo was mortified; he reached behind him for a towel, but before he could grab one Grimmjow was there, pinning him against the counter with both his arms on either side. Caged in, Ichigo felt scared as Grimmjow grabbed his chin and pulled it up. He smashed their lips together in a dominating kiss.
Ichigo gasped and tried to get away, wiggling and accidently rubbing himself slightly against Grimmjow.
"That feels good," Grimmjow's voice was husky, his breathing hard and erratic. Leaning in, he kissed Ichigo again forcing him to submit. Ichigo tried turning his head away but Grimmjow stopped him, gripping his chin harder and tilting his head up. Ichigo gasped when Grimmjow bit his bottom lip, allowing the espada to push his tongue in. Ichigo shyly reciprocated, enjoying the feeling of some else's tongue on the inside of his cheek.
Ichigo stopped trying to escape; instead he wrapped his arms around the espada finding himself leaning back against the counter, pulling Grimmjow along with him. He felt his legs being pushed apart as Grimmjow's leg was shoved in between them. Moaning he broke the kiss leaning his head back, crying out when Grimmjow attacked his neck. The man bit down hard, drawing blood. Licking it up, Grimmjow moaned at the sight Ichigo made. Eyes half closed with his mouth slightly open, blood welling up from his neck where he had been bitten. Grimmjow grinned. Leaning back down he bit Ichigo's ear, whispering softly.
"Your mine, do you understand?"
Ichigo gasped when Grimmjow touched his length, rubbing it into hardness. Moaning Ichigo bucked up into his hand. Grimmjow started moving his hand faster.
"You won't look at anyone else, won't touch anyone else." Grimmjow's voice got louder; he gripped Ichigo's length, to stop him from coming. "I'll kill you if you do, do you understand?" Ichigo nodded, not really understanding what he was saying; only knowing if he didn't agree Grimmjow wouldn't let him come.
Grinning Grimmjow fell on his knees, and quickly took the boy into his mouth. Sucking on his length Grimmjow hummed causing Ichigo to cry out as he quickly came. Swallowing it all, Grimmjow quickly stood up and grabbing Ichigo carried him bridal style out of the room.
Grimmjow quickly sonidoed to his quarters ignoring the struggling boy in his arms. Kicking the door open he dropped the teen onto his bed before slamming the door shut. Turning around he stopped when he spotted the look pain on the boys face.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" Ichigo frowned at him and turned away, ignoring him. "Hey," Pushing the teen down, Grimmjow quickly straddled him. "I asked you a question dammit, answer it!" The teen mumbled something, tossing an arm over his face. Annoyed Grimmjow pulled it back, surprised to see him crying. "What…?"
"You're going to be just like him, sleep with me then get bored and toss me, or you'll find someone else and keep me around for when you want a to..." Ichigo pushed Grimmjow off, "I'm a one man only. I want someone who will stay with me! I don't want to be a one night stand!" Ichigo snarled out, getting up he started to leave.
Grimmjow grabbed him before he reached the door. "What are you talking about? Didn't you listen to me?" Ichigo glared at him.
"Let go of me." He tried to pull away, but Grimmjow pulled him to his body and wrapped his arms around him, making sure he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Your mine, I won't let anyone else have you." Ichigo stopped fighting him.
"He said that too, told me he loved me, but he lied." Ichigo gave a humorous laugh, "Don't touch me." Grimmjow growled at Ichigo's cold voice, he growing annoyed with the boy.
"Let me prove it to you! I want you, not a one night stand." He turned Ichigo's head to the side and kissed him, slowly and with as much love as he could put into it. "Give me a chance."
"Fine, I'll give you a chance, but if you hit me or cheat on me it's over with." Ichigo looked away. Smiling Grimmjow licked Ichigo's ear earning him a gasp.
"I won't do anything like that." He murmured softly, kissing him behind his ear. "Stay here for the night; I won't do anything, and your room is going to need to be repaired." Ichigo looked dubious, but nodded anyways. Pulling Ichigo close he lay the two of them down on the bed, spooning Ichigo from behind.
Ichigo lay in Grimmjow's arms, wondering how he had gotten into his bed so fast.
Don't worry King, he's a good guy.
Where the hell have you been? Ichigo snarled. It would have been nice if you had helped me earlier.
Like I said, he's a good guy.
And how the hell is he a 'good guy'.
He hasn't tried anything since you told him not to.
It's been five minutes. Shiro laughed
You are naked, lying in his bed. You can still feel his erection on your ass and he still hasn't taken advantage of you. Just give him a chance, alight? Ichigo sighed and closed his eyes, allowing himself to drift off.
Grimmjow smiled when he felt Ichigo's breathe even out, closing his eyes, he waited for sleep to come.

Gin and Aizen watched the screen, Aizen reclining on his chair, his hands clasped in front of him. Next to him, Gin was leaning forward listening to Ichigo's cries as Grimmjow sucked him off. Szayel stood behind the two of them, smiling when Grimmjow lifted the boy up and quickly disappeared.
"Wow Sou-Chan, you were right!"
Aizen just smirked. He turned towards Szayel. "Of all the Arrancar, you chose Nnoitra?"
"Well, I knew the idiot would tell Grimmjow, hoping for some sort of trouble." Szayel adjusted his glasses, feeling pleased. He bowed. "I shall take my leave of you." Turning he went back to his lab.
Gin and Aizen watched him leave. "So, ya think the boy will stay?"
"More than likely, it seems Abarai messed up, cheating on him with Byakuya. As long as Grimmjow does none of these, we should be fine. The boy will stay and Grimmjow might even calm down a bit."
Gin laughed. "Good luck with that one." Aizen smiled.
"Although, it looks like I have a room to fix." Standing up he left Gin to watch the boy.
A/N: Gin is hard to write…I have been struggling with his voice…makes me want to cry. I gave up on Shiro having an accent; he speaks normal…sort of. I do like where this is going! My favorite story to write!
Also, I will be going on a vacation next week so no new chapters till the week after, but I promise to have two to three chapters uploaded then.
