Whew, am I glad I can update fanfiction on an iPad. I know a lot of people hate me for not updating in awhile, but my only excuse is that I am fucking terrible with electronics... Wow do I have bad luck with them. Anyway, now that I know I can update from an iPad, I'll be working diligently on this fanfiction for a few chapters.

This fanfiction, I just want to say, isn't really following the original plot of Bleach. I'm just doing my own thing, hope ya'll enjoy this chapter though!

Aizen Sōsuke flips through a packet of papers, brown eyes alight in curiosity and interest. He reset his knuckles against his jawline, a small smile on his face. "How very interesting..."

Sōsuke glances up, the smile on thin lips widening and showing perfectly straight, white teeth in an uncharacteristic grin as cold eyes glint behind thin glass lenses. "It's almost time."

Thirsty... So hungry...

Dark, cerulean eyes glow faintly in the shadows of the dark sewers that made up the inner world of a blonde haired prisoner. The oddly dull pools are half-lidded from the burning inferno in a tawny throat, still though, he much rather deal with annoyance than the voice that had been buzzing in the back of his head for years, booming all around in the sewers, and making his train of thought derail and crash. Keyword; had. That particular annoyance had been dealt with, recently in fact, if the state of the sewers had any indication. Or was it not so recent? He couldn't remember anymore. The owner of the voice that had haunted him for years had been consumed by the blonde, and the look on Kurama's face as Naruto absorbed him and all his powers had been a tad amusing. Seeing the simple rage and confusion as his existence was finally put to an end was a site to behold as the great Kyuubi no Kitsune was finalized.

However, one aspect that certainly was not amusing from devouring the creature was the thirst for blood and the hunger for power that made up most of his appetite. Naruto had indeed expected some side-effects from consuming a demon as powerful as the fox, but certainly not one as irritating as this. Being sealed did not help his situation in any aspect, and it just piled on to his agitation. The word, "ironic" made the lithe man even more ticked off, being as the reason for his absorption of Kurama was to use the gained power to escape from this damned seal. Obviously it didn't work.

A feeling arises in his gut, alerting the ex-shinobi that something interesting was going to happen soon; he could only hope it would include getting out of this fucking seal. Naruto sighs softly, dark cerulean eyes closing as boredom starts to settle into his bones. Being sealed wasn't amusing, especially if you've been stuck for hundreds of thousands of years, even if you have no sense of time. However, even without that particular sense, the blonde still knew he was here for far longer than he wanted.

It had taken Aizen Sōsuke awhile to gather all the documents and reports on one of the most powerful weapons recorded in history, but once he had, he knew it was time to shed this pseudo "Heaven" and start his plans that he's been formulating since he could remember. Defecting from the Soul Society had been far more interesting that he thought, that orange-haired ryoka had managed to survive his attack. No matter, it's not like he would hinder the plans he made, and even if he tried, Sōsuke would make sure that young boy would pay for his interference.

Now that he was freed to do whatever he wanted without the risk of being caught, the self-proclaimed God fully intended searching for this weapon with little to no interruptions. Such a shame he didn't realize how agitating his search would be; wild goose chases left and right, false leads, trails running cold in the middle, it was all very frustrating and taking far too long just to find this weapon. The longer it took, the stronger that ryoka band was getting, and as they got stronger, they continued to hinder his plans already in motion.

Sōsuke sighs deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose as he walks down the white halls of Las Noches, small frown tugging down the corners of his lips as his brows knit together. He was not pleased, not pleased at all. Coupled with his failures of finding this great weapon of destruction, it seems one of his Espada had decided to go out and play on his own. Surely Sexta knew what would happen when he came back, and since the lord and master of this elaborate palace was already in a sour mood, the unruly soldier maybe got punished a bit too harshly for his impatience to play.

With a shake of his head to clear his thoughts, ignoring the single threading of hair swaying in front of his face from the movements, the shinigami holds up a file with many side notes on the pages, sticky notes with scribbles stuck to the papers, and sentences crossed out on the actual file to remove anything that was proven wrong. The skin on the bridge of his nose crinkles ever so slightly in an irritated snarl, upper lip barely curling from his straight teeth before his lips thin out into a flat line, hardened eyes almost glaring holes in the papers as he reads over the file once more.

His walking is paused, a single brow raising as the aggressive expression is replaced with an almost intrigued one. "Well... This certainly looks promising." A small smirk now plays along his lips as the file is tucked back to his arm and pinned against his side, long legs striding down the hall once more as he changes his course to his throne room.

Once inside, steely brown eyes find his two right hand men he took with him from the Soul Society, the small smirk never leaving. "Gin, Kaname, I'm stepping out for a bit to take scare of some business, take care of the house for me."

"Aye aye, Cap'n." A silvery voice teasing the ears of all who hear it as seemingly closed eyes gaze upon Las Noches' Lord, an eerie smile stretching his lips and threatening to devour the man's face. It was a wonder his cheeks never got sore from how much the man held that smile, it was like his face was frozen like that. "We'll keep e'erythin' in ordah."

Kaname nods his head, lips drawn into a thin line that was threatening to break into a small frown, of course like Gin, that expression seemed frozen on the man's dark face. And of course it would be, seeing as Kaname had to deal with the annoyance that was Ichimaru Gin. He wondered why Aizen-sama kept the poor excuse as a man around.

"I'll be back." Sōsuke assures, amused by Kaname's displeasure even if it was hardly noticeable.

With his small smirk growing, a slightly pale hand reaches out so a garganta can be summoned, the rift looking ominous as always. He steps inside, steely brown eyes glinting with glee. And why wouldn't he feel excited? He was about to find the greatest weapon recorded in history to use for his own devices, and felt a surge of pleasure from the prospect of controlling a creature rumored to he more powerful than the Head Captain himself, a creature that would obey him like a dog would its master.

Naruto hadn't moved an inch from his seat against a cracked wall, dulled, dark eyes staring at twisted, broken, and gnarled bars that had once resembled a cage. The burned remains of a paper seal float in ankle deep waters, its purpose no longer necessary.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

The only sound that accompanied him was the almost metronome-like dripping water that descended from the cracked and crumbled ceiling.

It was so... Quiet.

How strange. The motionless blonde wasn't used to the silence in his inner world, even after hearing it for so long, and honestly, he wasn't sure how to feel about it. He mused he should be happy, relieved, overjoyed even, that the insistent babbling had ceased. But he was just... Indifferent.

"Heh... You're probably cursing me, huh?" The once joyous, lighthearted voice is now devoid of any and all emotion, his tone unnerving with how stoic and lifeless it sounded.

Dull blue eyes stare listlessly at the empty cage, a bored yawn wrenching his jaws open as a small, pink tongue curls between sharp canines. His jaws meet together once more with a soft click as his teeth reacquaint themselves.

"Mou... Kinda boring without you here, Kurama." The blonde's voice rings out softly, almost echoing in the large room of the sewer. Half-lidded eyes fall closed as thin shoulders sag a tad. "Something exciting needs to happen..." He mumbles to himself, even with the gut feeling he had before, Naruto was unaware how much time had passed since that feeling, and being sealed here for so long he wasn't sure when what happened anymore. Did he get sealed yesterday? Or maybe a few weeks ago? Of course, he knew it was much longer than that, but everything felt like it happened all at once and just a few moments ago.

Closed eyes slide open once more, though not opening anymore than half way. The dully glowing pools pan up to stare at the broken ceiling. The sewers had been almost completely destroyed from a battle, a battle that raged for a long time before finally having a victor. Naruto vaguely and idly wondered if the condition of the sewers meant his mind was falling apart. A snort of amusement sounds from the back of his throat as he remembers his inner world was more in his stomach than his mind.

"No matter if it's my mind or not, a sane mind isn't necessary." A dry chuckle bubbles from full lips, a humorless smile curling them.

A few moments of almost complete silence passes before he slides across the wall, the left side of his body splashing gently into the shallow waters. Naruto ignores the feeling of the dingy water tickling around the silhouette of his lithe body.

Damn... It was so boring... When was something going to happen? He really wanted something to happen soon.

Sōsuke gazes at a large coffin with a gleeful expression, steely brown eyes twinkling, and lips curled up in a grinch-like grin. "Heh..." Long legs stride over to the coffin with a bit of a bounce to their steps, a long fingered hand being rested on the glossy surface. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you." His head tilts lightly to the side as he examines the prison. "Well, shall I free you now?"

Aizen Sōsuke places both hands on to the glossy surface, eyes falling closed in concentration as his reiatsu starts to gather in the palms of his hands. Deeming enough had been gathered after a long while of assembling his powers, the shinigami has his reiatsu spread over the entirety of the coffin, covering the prison in a soft green glow. Sōsuke grins, a bit of a strained one as a few beads of sweat start gathering on his brow, and he pours more energy into the coffin. As the chains start to loosen, paper seals slowly starting peeling off, the man's eyes watch in confidence as the four tridents start to wriggle and slowly pull free from the prison.

Soon, the chains clatter to the ground in a jangling heap, strips of paper floating to the ground and burning up from the energy in the air. The tridents clang against the rocky ground and heavy chains, leaving the coffin completely free from its confinements. The perspiring man steps back slowly, breathing a bit heavier than he'd like to admit, and his limbs a bit shaky from the amount of power he used.

It was all worth it however, as the front of the coffin starts to fall open, slamming into the ground with enough force to cause some loose rocks to shake on the ground. The bed of the coffin soon follows the lid's example, slamming on to the ground with more force, the ground shaking once more as if a mini earthquake was making the ground tremble.

"Ho? What's this?"

Steely brown eyes narrow, the grin dropping slightly as he stares at what had lied within the coffin.

What was it? Surely this blob-like mass wasn't the creature mentioned in those old scrolls he had read, those documents and files couldn't be talking about this... This... Thing.

"Che! How disappointing."

Even as the dark blob started to seemingly melt, the ground being stained with the inky substance, Aizen Sōsuke's smile dropped into a frown as his brows creased lightly in his disappointment.

"Disappointing...?"

Azure eyes snap open, red bleeding into the irises and overpowering the blue to first turn purple, and then glowing crimson altogether. The now red eyes glance around the sewers as a strange feeling starts to seep into the dark, dank area.

No... Not a feeling... A power. One that the imprisoned blonde hasn't felt in so long, but... It was different. So very different, but oddly familiar... How very peculiar.

What was this power? It made his body tingle, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up on end as his muscles lightly twitched. And his Thirst. It flared with such intensity it almost made him gag. Whoever, whatever, was giving off this power had to be strong... Really strong, if this power was seeping into Naruto's inner world from beyond the seal.

...

Wait a minute...

Naruto's half-lidded eyes snap into wide saucers, shock electrifying his body as he sits up quickly. The water dripping down the side of his face and lapping at his hips and lower stomach and back are ignored, wide eyes staring up at the destroyed ceiling and into the black abyss above. "!" Was someone unsealing him?!

A vicious grin slowly spreads across his lips, fangs gleaming as a pleased rumble sounds in his throat. Naruto suddenly vanishes from the sewers, his vision met with nothing but blackness, and the water from before no longer clinging to his skin and clothes. His senses are stretched out before curling around a strange creature that was standing close to his body.

Hm? What's this?

He couldn't keep the pleased grin off his face;

This creature! It's unsealing me! Haha!

A breath is released from full lips when his ears pick up the jangling of chains and then the clanging of the tridents that had been lodged into the coffin. A small twitch travels through his body when the coffin slams on the ground in front, and then behind him. giddiness rushes along his nerves when the inky mass starts to fall from his body.

The giddiness halts, it's journey running cold as the grin falls from his face. Disappoint...? What exactly was disappointing? His ears picked up the voice, picked up the tone, and even told him that it was aimed at him. But what, exactly, was disappointing to this creature?

Naruto's upper lip peels over sharp teeth, his throat rumbling with a silent growl as he grinds out an irritated,

"Disappointing...?"

Sōsuke's narrowed eyes widen a fraction as a black bandaged body is slowly revealed, the inky goo forming a puddle on the ground, covering the body's feet and clinging to thin ankles. He stares in growing curiosity as the black bandages start to loosen and unravel, revealing blood red eyes glaring into his own steely brown. "... Ho?"

"What's 'disappointing'?" Naruto growls out, almost amused by the shocked expression on the creature's face.

And truly was Sōsuke shocked as he watched the unraveling bandages expose a tanned face with boyish features, whisker marks adorning both cheeks, and a snarl on light pink lips. As the bandages fell from his head, blonde bangs tumbled into the pools of red, shadowing over them and making the irises glow eerily. More golden hair tumbles down, brushing against scarred cheeks and a tawny neck before stopping to tickle the light orange sleeves of his yukata.

Soon the black bindings were in a rumpled heap in the puddle, a lithe body covered in the thin yukata now in full view. The orange material complimented the boy's tanned skin, hugging his body and accenting the sun colored hair. A gust of wind blows by, making longer tresses that rested down his back flutter playfully in the air. While his hair wasn't overly long, it did reach to the middle of his back, and he wasn't exactly sure how he felt about the change in hairstyle.

The creature's expression was positively livid as the shinigami took in the sight of the smaller male, and took in the feel of his aura. "Ahah..." For once, he found himself at a loss for words, not expecting someone to be in that gooey blob, but the disappoint he felt before was quickly dissipating.

Red eyes glance around his surroundings for a moment, taking in the clearing that was nothing but dust and debris with rocks littering the ground here and there. It looked the same enough, save for the fact Konoha was no longer in existence, but the feeling in the air was completely different. Naruto settles his crimson pools on the larger man once more, quirking a golden brow impatiently.

"Forgive me, I spoke too soon, nothing is disappointing at all." Sōsuke says smoothly, gaining his composure once more as a benign smile gently curls his lips.

"Che..." A soft growl falls from his own lips as the blonde's eyes narrow, not trusting the kind smile on this creature's face. His chin tilts up, an air of superiority wafting around him as he stares straight into the steely cool eyes of Aizen. "Why have you unsealed me?"

Sōsuke gazes at the demon curiously, noting the growling tone turn monotonous. It rivaled his favorite Espada's own monotone voice, and it peeked his interest just a notch.

"I wish for your power to aid me in my war."

Crimson eyes sharpen and narrow once more, blonde hair bristling like the hackles of a fox as the thin whisker marks grow thicker and deeper in color.

War...? Of course, it was always war, that's all anyone ever wanted him for, ever needed him for. Aaah... He was getting emotional? How strange, after he snapped the only emotion he felt was anger, and it's cousins; rage, fury, irritation, agitation, etc. but a strange emotion he no longer could name had wormed its way inside him and he was a bit confused by it, slightly intrigued, but not enough to dwell longer than a moments thought on it.

Steely brown eyes watch in amusement as the demon seemed to have killed down the last inkling of any emotion other than rage, arching a brow lightly. How intriguing, though now wasn't really the time to start to play around with the creature and see what made him tick. He watches as the bristled hair smooths back out, the whisker marks calming down as well and going back to being thin lines. Yes, this creature was so very interesting.

"I can take you to my residence and inform you properly." He offers, wanting to at least try and do this with the use of force if he could. Of course, he was very confident in his abilities, so if it did turn to force Sōsuke was very certain he could overpower this ancient creature.

Naruto arches a brow. He couldn't sense anything around, even when he stretched his senses out to the max, nothing. However, there was this buzzing in the air that he couldn't ignore as it tugged and tickled at his sixth sense. It was very strange, it was almost like something was pressing against the air. Like... Like... Well, he couldn't exactly find the words to explain what his sixth sense was picking up. It was just strange.

"Hn... Alright."

Might as well go along with this creature for now,Judy until he had an idea for this new world and how to transverse it.

"Excellent." Brown eyes glint as his lips pull into a satisfied smile.

A garganta opens up and Sōsuke wastes no time by stepping inside, glancing over his shoulder at the shorter man. "Come, you'd best stay close."

Naruto eyes at the rip in the air, vaguely wondering how that was possible before his attention is once again on the man. Deeming it not that important for now, the blonde takes a step forward before pausing and looking at the tridents, chains, and bandages. Those... Could be handy.

A slender hand reaches around, a confused frown tugging at his lips as his fingers only brush against the soft fabric of the yukata. Oh, that's right, he was at a festival when he had been sealed. So he didn't have any weapons, no scrolls, smoke bombs, nothing. Humph. He didn't feel like carry all that crap either. Oh well, guess it didn't really matter.

A single blink is given when everything bursts into particles, being sucked into the opening. How peculiar. He gazes at the garganta before walking over, inspecting the edges and then leaning forward slightly to inspect the inside. It was dark... Nothing but a deep blackness stretching out every which way. "..." Naruto definitely didn't want to go in there.

A soft chuckle sounds from the patient shinigami, finding all of this so very amusing. "Don't worry, as long as you're with me the darkness can't get you."

It was strange, how the monster depicted in the scrolls and documents looked like a 15 year old boy, and the obvious fear of the dark that the other was too slow to cover up as he inspected the garganta. The flicker of fear that flashed in the now violet eyes had been very noticeable, the blank expression faltering slightly before the mask was pulled back in place, no traces left of the fear this destructive creature had shown. Perhaps spending what was most likely an eternity sealed away, a subconscious fear of the dark had grown.

A small smirk plays along the edges of Sōsuke's lips, eyes never leaving the lithe boy he could most definitely use that subconscious fear to control the creature if he tried to disobey him. After all, Aizen was the one to free him, so he was indebted to the shinigami and owed him.

Narrowed eyes blink once as unexpectedly large eyes gaze up at him before being half-lidded once more. "..." Again, the thought of him being a fifteen year old boy comes to the forefront of his mind. How old had this creature been when he had been sealed away? Perhaps it didn't matter.

Naruto frowns slightly, staring at the man cautiously before he gingerly steps inside, yanking notice of a light blue walkway under their feet. "..." He suddenly had a great feeling of vulnerability, like he was a little kid once more as the garganta closed and he was surrounded by nothing but the dark abyss that threatened to devour and consume him.

Stop.

Naruto inwardly growls at his memories, squashing them down and squaring his shoulders as his jaw sets into a stubborn lock.

Eyes cerulean once again, they flicker up at the man who saved him from his prison. "Lead the way." He says, voice void of anything and once again making Aizen think of his most loyal Espada.

"Hai." He chuckles out, starting to walk.

the recently unsealed boy follows after, keeping his steps light and silent. The pathway felt cool against the soles of his bare feet, and he watches, perplexed, as it just materializes in front of the man out of nowhere.

Unnatural.

Of course, Naruto didn't know what was natural or not anymore, this was a time different from his own and maybe this was the most natural thing in this new world.

On another note, what was this man? His presence almost felt like a shinobi, which made him want to kill this stranger, but it was different enough from a shinobi that it kept him passive. And his energy, it was like the feeling of chakra, but at the same time it wasn't.

"What are you?" He finally voices out, staring at the taller man as they travel in the dark.

An amused smile quirks the corners of his lips, Sōsuke glancing over his shoulder at his newest weapon. "Hm? I'm a shinigami."

"'Shinigami'?" Naruto echoes, remembering something about a shinigami in a Justus, but it was a distant memory and the edges were frayed while there were holes.

"And you are?" Sōsuke was just playing along, though he already knew what this creature was. He was just a tool for war.

A scoff and scowl is the shinigami's first answer before his thoughts are voiced by the smaller.

"A monster."

"I see." A sudden and random thought comes to Sōsuke and he chuckles. "It seems I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aizen Sōsuke, what's yours?"

The pleasant tone of voice didn't fool Naruto, he could feel the predatory nature lurking underneath the sweet act.

"..." He ponders the question, feeling that names weren't important at all. He didn't care to know this man's name, and he wasn't about to give the stranger his real name. They walk in relative silence for a few moments before he speaks up once more. "Kyuubi."

Having decided to throw away his birth name, the newly labeled "Kyuubi" found he enjoyed the idea of being the new Kyuubi no Kitsune. As a matter of fact, since he devoured Kurama, he guessed he already was.

"'Kyuubi', hm?"

Deciding not to answer the mans hum, Naruto quiets down, the only sound being that of the soft footfalls of the two men. It seemed like forever to the blonde as they walked until finally the taller stopped and opened up another one of the rips and stepped out into a large hall that was way too white.

"Aizen-sama, welcome back." A monotonous voice rings out as large green eyes take in the form of his lord stepping out of a garganta.

"Ulquiorra." Sōsuke smiles benignly at the high ranking soldier. "I'm glad you're here."

Emotionless eyes regard the shinigami with the respect the man demanded. a sudden chill goes down his spine, making his back go stiff. "..."

Naruto growls lowly as bare feet patter gently on to the white floors of the great hall, pools of blood staring the arrancar down with ferocity as his golden mane bristles and spikes up. His attention was completely on the pale skinned creature, he was just so thirsty and his throat was burning. Naruto could just smell the power that was teasing him, and he suddenly understood why Kurama had devoured so many shinobi.

Ulquiorra stares back, body tense from the look he was receiving. For once, Ulquiorra Schiffer felt like he was prey, an odd sense of year welling up inside his chest as flat pools of green don't betray what he was feeling. "..."

"Kyuubi, calm down, Ulquiorra is my faithful soldier, he won't harm you." Mistaking the smaller man's actions as defensive, Sōsuke couldn't help the prideful smirk twitch at his lips as he watches.

Ignoring the prideful man, a small step is taken towards the pale creature, lips parting and then curling away from sharp teeth as a predatory growl rumbles in his throat.

The ex-captain frowns when his fourth most powerful soldier takes a step away from the advancing monster, reconsidering his first thought as to why Kyuubi suddenly got hostile.

Hmm? What's this?

He didn't quite understand the reason Ulquiorra was trying to keep distance between himself and the monster.

"Kyuubi, I will not allow you to terrorize my soldier." Sōsuke frowns deeply, steeping between the two and staring down the growling boy.

A slender brow arched over a pool of red, snarling mouth closing so a frown can tug at pink lips. "Heh? I wasn't asking for permission. I want to devour him, now get out of my way."

"'Devour'? No, you can't." A hand is held up to pause Kyuubi from his protest as Aizen continues to talk, "I'll get you a few Hollows you can devour, but you shall not eat my soldiers."

"Keh! Fine, I won't devour him." Naruto turns away from them, glancing around before he starts to walk towards the tall doors that lead out.

"Wait a second, Kyuubi, where are you going?"

"Nowhere in particular. I'll come to you in a few hours."

Before Sōsuke even has a chance to stop him, Naruto disappears in a swirl of flames.

"Che!" Sōsuke narrows his eyes at the doors before he regards his most loyal soldier with a cold gaze. "Ulquiorra, why did you step away? Surely you could have defended against any attacks."

"Forgive me, Aizen-sama..." He bows lowly, green eyes closing for a second before opening once more. "It was purely instinctual, I'll see to it that it doesn't happen again."

"Good, I don't want him thinking he's stronger than anyone here. While he does have power, it's not nearly as strong as Szayel's." Indeed, the feeling of the demon's power was weak, it didn't even measure up to Octava's reiatsu level. His earlier thought of disappointment comes back, a small frown marring his handsome features. "Hn. Have everyone gather in a few hours for a meeting."

"Hai." Ulquiorra straightens from his bow and walks out of the large hall, which just so happened to be the meeting hall, as he stretches his senses out to locate the other Espada's locations.

Naruto wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, dropping a fragment of a bone white mask before it dissipates into small particles. "Haaah..." Comes a satisfied sigh as his thirst for blood and power is quelled.

The lithe boy had takeno it upon himself to find his own meals. After having found his way out of the winding halls and into silver sands of an eternal night, he had stretched his senses out and found a group of powerful creatures. Of course, when he found them he had hung back in a bit of surprise to see such creatures. It didn't matter what they looked like however, and he tested out his powers on his meals before devouring them.

He knew the powers he obtained where inhuman, but he as expecting to be so fast and be able to call upon such strength. These creatures couldn't stand a chance against him and didn't even know what hit them until it was too late.

I didn't even need to use a single tail of power. Naruto muses as he gazes out at the now empty sands.

Cerulean pools pan over to the large castle, a small frown tugging at the corners of his lips. He didn't want to go back... Being used in a war once again, it left a sour taste in his mouth. "Che..." Bare feet start to walk in the direction of the castle anyway as he vaguely wishes for his shinobi attire. However, as even the thought of being dressed in shinobi garb had an unbridled rage filling his stomach, he quickly changed his mind. At least the yukata was light weight enough he could fight comfortably, and it didn't hinder movements.

As Naruto steps into the building once more, his senses are immediately pulled towards a large mass of power gathered in one spot. His mouth waters from the sheer amount of power that was radiating from that one spot. He wanted to devour them all... These strange creatures and their strange power filled his belly pleasantly, and refreshed him in a way normal food never did.

Though, since he sensed Aizen Sōsuke with them, he guessed they were off limits as well. Such a shame.

Well, no matter, he'd behave. For now, that is.

Aizen Sōsuke was pissed. Absolutely livid.

Of course his expression was schooled with an impassive expression, the rim of a white tea cup hovering near his lips as the steam from the contents inside curled around his nose. Of course, the air around his body was filled with the anger that rolled around his steely eyes.

No one dared speak, the Espada gathered deciding to sit quietly least they risk punishment. Even the more unruly characters of the group sat in silence, knowing better than to add fuel to the fire.

The meeting had started off normal enough, but when about 53 minutes passed of waiting for this new weapon Aizen had said he obtained to show up, the atmosphere of the room was less then pleasant.

All eyes turned to the tall double doors as they pushed open, all pairs of eyes watching as a young looking boy slips through the crack of the doors. Azure eyes regard the creatures with an uninterested look, his expression bored.

"Kyuubi-kun. You're late." Comes the sugary sweet tone of one livid Aizen Sōsuke, benign smile in place As steely eyes flashed.

Naruto levels a blank stare at the shinigami as a thin brow arches. He says nothing as he pans his gaze to the two shinigami flanking the silently fuming man, assessing them for a second before looking away to inspect the decor of the large room. White. Nothing but white.

The slightest twitch of a brow brow is the only reaction Sōsuke gives to being ignored by his newest weapon. "I was just informing my army that you will be aiding our side in this war as out secret weapon."

Weapon.

How he hated to be compared to such a thing. "Hn." Is the only indicator Naruto gives to the man that he's listening, still examining the decor of the large room. He tears his gaze away from the high walls and ceiling, dead eyes locking with the steely gaze of Aizen Sōsuke's as a thought of finality crosses his mind, dispelling the tiniest inkling left of hope.

I'm only a weapon. A monster to be used in wars.
