Hakkuchi – I said in the first chapter" he seemed older than a mere high school student"; but you're right … now I regret I didn't make him her teacher; maybe in the next story (oneshot). And I love crack parings as much as you do … thanks again
Note: Just like Hakkuchi pointed out, Aizen is too old to be mistaken for a high school student, so I came with a solution *tumultuous cheering*. What? You thought I'll tell you? Haha …. no

To break is all I know
Chapter 3: Explanations & Windows
When Sousuke Aizen was just a child living in Rukongai, his aspirations were different from now. He was a happy child, living with his mother, playing with other kids, being a simple spirit, without any care in the world, being loved and appreciated for his soft character. Nothing changed until that hideous day, the day his powers were awakened. Deep, embedded in his soul was one of the strongest illusion type Zanpakuto … a cruel, merciless sword … just like him.

"Good morning, Aizen-kun"
It was the voice Aizen heard first in thing in the morning, just before the clock could strike 7. It was also the only warning he got before the cover was snatched from his grip and a coarse, annoying voice screamed in his ear:
"WAKE UP BOY!"
This was his adoptive father. A man without any trace of brain, elegance, intelligence, or anything remotely close. This was one of the many reasons he chose him to be his legal guardian.
"I'm awake" smiled Aizen gently, hoping for a miracle, which undoubtedly didn't come.
He slipped his legs over the bed's edge in order to reach his brown slippers, but the brute of a man grabbed the back of his pajamas and yanked him towards them. Aizen hissed in pain, because the gigai he created was very sensitive to any motion.
It didn't matter with how much force or speed it was hurt or yanked, but that didn't mean he wasn't feeling the impact. His gigai was fragile in comparison to a normal human body, but it could stay in one piece against blows that a human body could not; as any thing, it had its lights and shades.
The father screamed something unintelligible at Aizen, but through a miracle the ex-captain understood the meaning of his words.
"I'll be ready in two minutes" stated Aizen slowly, waiting for his reply.
"One"
'Stupid creature called human being' thought Aizen, while smiling deceivingly 'After I will regain my powers I'm going to snap his neck in two'
Of course that on the outside Aizen prepared an innocent mask, mimicking admiration and a tiny drop of grief, the last one being especially for that annoying creature's grossness. Maybe when he dies and goes to Soul Society, he'll enter the Academy and if he graduates he'll be recruited by the 11-th Squad and killed by the barbarians living there.
"Are you ready, dear?" asked a woman when Aizen failed to realize that his minute has expired; he had his reasons … he was way too engrossed in foreseeing that creature's death … err … second death, because concerning the first, he had some pretty eccentric ideas that involved some interesting object he stole from the 12-th Squad.
"Your father is not a patient man" continued the woman
'Tell me about it'
His adoptive mother was a beautiful woman without a doubt, but somehow her face reflected shallowness and her two greasy blue orbs were too close to each other, making her appearance pitiable. She was the perfect match for that man … simple, calm and not very intelligent … not at all.
And on top of this, she was easy to manipulate; the perfect being for a master in deceiving and plotting like Aizen.
He remembered the first time he came at their door, asking for a place to stay for the night. It was a rainy day and his cloths were soaked, his resemblance to a sponge being evident. Through a miracle (more like careful scheming) the woman accepted him in the house and after only one hour of talking she fell for him … hard and deep like a rock in an endless river.
But Aizen wasn't surprised over this feat for two obvious reasons: one was his younger and he would say, hotter body, but judging the fact that he was just as hot before … wasn't any particular difference; the second reason was his peculiar talent in maneuvering people and their emotions. So when he came like a savior, like an angel in his adoptive mother's life, she accepted him without asking questions about his past.
Also, that creature called her husband, couldn't keep it in his pants when the woman suggested in a sweet, seductive voice her wish of keeping him as their adoptive son.
'Stupid humans' thought the villain, while gathering the necessary things for another boring school day. He kind of recalled his previous talk with Karin, that between screams and swears said something about an extra-large computer science lesson
…. extra-large sounds dangerous ….

"I'm back! Samaki!" yelled Karin using his first name this time "Are you ready?"
Without any sign of hesitation, Aizen nodded. On the other hand, Karin seemed pleased with herself, for an unknown reason. Moreover she was radiating happiness through every cell of her body … what made her so happy? ….
"Start the computer" ordered Karin, being as bossy as always.
Aizen complied by pressing the start button reluctantly.
"I will leave the theoretical part for another day, since you suck so much at this" and she pointed at the PC "Today you will learn how to use it"
The widening smile/smirk on Karin's face was no good news for the villain, which disliked the subject more and more. Karin continued the speech, almost humming. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a rational creature that should have reduced the instinctual part from her being, he would have said that she was in heat.
A gross conclusion without a doubt …
"I will try a different approach, because the last one was clearly not appropriate for your undeveloped intellect"
Aizen forgot any previous thought he had about her possible happiness, realizing that this creature called captain was the biggest bitch ever created by the human kind.
"And don't go ballistic, just because I said the truth" she continued nonchalantly taking a seat beside him at the computer. Her right hand easily found the mouse and the lesson began.
For the n-th time Aizen was stuck in this peculiar predicament with a perky girl …. err … tomboy, a computer and a fucking reiatsu sucking gigai
"These are the icons" her hand maneuvered the mouse over some strange shaped mini pictures "if you do a double left click, like this" and she demonstrated by pressing the named button twice "the object represented by the picture will open"
"There are different types of icons: folders, images, text files, music …" and she exemplified by pointing them out with the irreplaceable help of the cursor.
Aizen was expecting something exquisite from this "computer", but all he got was a cheap lesson thought by an average girl. It was true that school on earth couldn't compete with the well known Shinigami Academy, but to find out that they were at a totally different level was shocking.
So Aizen thought that if the lesson will go in this boring direction again, the least he could do, was to have fun … on her expense.
"Folders, images, text files … blah, blah, blah …" stated the said man, watching Karin's expression change from anger to amusement in a fraction of a second.
In the short time he had spend with the girl, he instinctively learned to predict, at a certain level, her reactions (and their speed) to whatever he said, and now, the villain was 100% sure that Karin was about to say something bad about him.
So it didn't come as a surprise when Karin quoted an old saying, smirking like a demon.
"What's done by the human is copied by the monkey."
Aizen just smiled, or he tried to. However this gesture was ten times harder, with the little vixen around him.
So instead of forcing his face in an unwanted expression, he glared dangerously at Karin, being rewarded with a well deserved frown. Somewhere deep inside him, a switch clicked, reminding him of the strange resemblance this girl's frown had with another one from his past.
"Let's continue" suddenly said Karin like nothing had happened "I will double click on this file, a music file. Pay attention"
And Karin double clicked on the file. However it didn't occur to either of them that the music file's name was 'Shut up and sleep with me'. The girl's blame was bigger, since Aizen had the excuse of being a computer retard.
In conclusion it came as a surprise when from the station a loud and annoying voice sang (or something remotely close to it) "Shut up and sleep with me …" over and over again …
The villain watched in awe as Karin's face changed from total white to red, settling for an ambiguous shade of greenish yellow. Her expression was even funnier: ogled eyes, almost falling from their orbs that gave her already unbeautiful face, an unnecessary drop of ugliness.
"Horny bastards" mumbled the girl as an excuse for the distasteful music "I swear that our generation is obsessed with …" Karin stammered the next words getting red as a tomato, as she explained her opinion regarding the music's unusual lyrics and their relationship with the delicate subject of sex.
Imagine the girl's horror when she realized that she had just said those things in front of a boy. As a result her previously green face acquired a shade of bright red.
On the other hand, Aizen was ignoring whatever happened with his captain's emotions/colors, being now busy with a distant memory from his long forgotten past … to be exact, he was remembering Shinji's taste in music. A strange one indeed but at least better than a melody that repeated over and over again "Shut up and sleep with me"
In the mean time, Karin regained a little confidence, even if she was still shaken up by the lyrics. So her lecture in computer usage continued.
"To close the window you have to press this button" and the cursor moved over the red X from the top right corner of the window. Karin left clicked on the said button, and the window closed, along with the insufferable music.
Silence enveloped the room with its wings, leaving an annoying awkwardness behind. Karin sniffed loudly, but didn't say anything, fearing that her words will sound spooky in the already uneasy environment.
"Err … Okay …" her words didn't disperse the sensation "This is a picture … open it"
The command was rapidity followed by Aizen's counterattack
"I'm not touching that thing" it was his total deny regarding the maneuvering of the mouse.
On the other hand, Karin just repeated, hoping for a positive answer from the stubborn red head "Take the mouse in your hand and double click on this icon" she even snarled at him "Today if you are kind enough"
"I said I'm not touching this thing. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever"
The well known sound of screeching teeth, reached Aizen's ears without having any effect on his already formed opinion. He wasn't against touching the mouse, but the image of an angry Karin was too attractive; so his sudden apprehension towards any contact with the object, was a stupid excuse for seeing Karin angry.
"And I repeat … Take the damn thing in your hand, or I will make sure you will not be able to touch any fucking object ever again" her ravished appearance made the threat even more dangerous. It was crystal clear that the girl was not joking around, and if he was continuing in this direction, the threat will become reality in no time.
However Aizen was not impressed, deciding on ignoring the girl despite her previous words. He even stated with a bored voice.
"I think something was thrown from the school's rooftop"
"I will throw you from the rooftop if you don't stop" snarled Karin angrily
The villain didn't respond immediately, replying only after a smirk decorated his already beautiful face.
"Dangerous. I peed in my pants"
"Big baby" stated Karin with a similar tone of mockery
Only after this, the girl realized that the previous state of awkwardness was completely gone, replaced by (as strange as it sounds) understanding. She felt something deep inside … and it wasn't a bad feeling, not at all.
It was strange, yet comforting to know that it was someone in this world that could stand up to her, that could tolerate her fiery temper without getting burned, that could endure her threats … that could be in the same room as her without running like a scared cat after 2 minutes.
Still he was a pretty boy … she wasn't (obviously she wasn't a boy)
While Karin was daydreaming, Aizen decided to stop the mockery ...He took the mouse and proceeded in opening the picture … well … he was proceeding, but he wasn't succeeding
A burst of laughter echoed in the closed space, its source being nobody else than Karin; she even told him between laughs and hiccups, exactly why this was her reaction.
"This is a mouse, not a sword. You look like you're ready to slash me in two"
When hearing her response, Aizen mumbled grudgingly "Believe me, I am ready"
Luckily for the villain, Karin didn't hear him, since she was way too busy laughing her lungs out and watching his fail attempts of mouse-moving. Hilarious was not good enough to describe the sight's amusingness.
"You're making fun on my expense" glared Aizen, the always present creepy smile, being absent for the time being.
"Hate to break it to you boy, but I make fun of everyone"
After this reply, the laughter gradually softened, the only traces left, being short, irregular bursts. Only after she was 100% sure that the danger of laughing her ass off was a mile away, Karin dared to continue the lesson.
She tried to explain that the mouse has to be stationed on a flat surface, because of the LED, and from here, another massive-boring lecture that included the LED's utility and usage. When the antihero was this close to falling asleep, Karin suddenly realized that her method was not working, so she tried the classic sarcasm.
"If you keep the mouse in the air, it will be as useless as your brain"
As you might expect, it didn't work, only triggering Aizen's murderous glare and his deadly rage; his calm façade was slowly, but surely crumbling, letting the dangerous and sadistic inside take over.
'Maybe I forgot to put a façade with her' were the words that entered his mind, without realizing they were his own thoughts 'Because I do not feel like I'm acting … And even if I'm boiling with rage, I know it's my own reaction, not something that's expected from my fake personality… It feels … strange' his inner debate continued, changing the subject from his personality to Karin '… and what's even stranger … she knows I'm angry, she knows I'm not a good guy, she knows that I am not to be played with … and yet she doesn't care … she doesn't fear'
"Are you still here?" asked Karin waving the right hand before his empty eyes "I guess not"
'She's fearless … and I will enjoy even more breaking this firecracker'
Aizen's expression became incredibly dark and scary, freaking the girl out of her mind yet again. She didn't react in any way, but in the depth of her soul a warning flashed, a warning that commanded: Stay away from him.
"Let's continue" cautiously said Karin, pointing at the mouse "Try again …"
He touched the mouse, this time keeping it on the table, but still unable to move the cursor in the right direction. Karin sighed and decided to help him with the directions. Her left hand came in contact with his right hand (that was over the mouse). Neither of them could say such a ridiculous thing, but a bolt gone trough their bodies, leaving them speechless for at least half a minute. The first one to move was Karin.
First she moved the hand forward, ushering Aizen to study the movement; then, when the cursor was on the same line as the picture, her hand, along with Aizen's shifted toward the image file. Finally reaching their destination, she double-clicked on the man's index finger, which in return double-clicked on the mouse.
"What the fuck …." exclaimed Karin, scaring a little bird that found shelter on the window frame.
If it wasn't for the fact that Aizen was a respected and elegant villain, he would have undoubtedly reacted the same way. Especially since the picture they worked so hard to open was one of the grossest he had ever seen … and it happened quite often to see Matsumoto drunk at a party, throwing her stomach out, but this was more disgusting than that.
"God … damn it … it's … ehhj" snapped the girl, covering her eyes with one hand, while the other was searching for the mouse. She bumped in his hand and grabbed the object, along with his arm of course. The quest of closing the image file became difficult, because it was undoubtedly harder to close a window without your eyesight.
Aizen found the view very funny, so he stated calmly, hoping for an appropriate reaction.
"You have to press the red X from the right top corner, in case you didn't know"
"I know … damn it … I know" screamed Karin, clicking randomly on the screen. Unknown to her, one click was executed on the printing button, so when the printer's roar echoed in the silent room, the raven girl froze in her seat.
"What's that?" asked Aizen, curious to know, what was the machine that created such a distinctive noise.
"The sound of my demise"
"What?" asked the man, raising an eyebrow at her obvious melodrama.
But Karin didn't answer. She jumped like a cat from the seat, and threw herself on the strange looking object that made the buzzing noise. It became stranger when her hands grabbed the piece of paper that threatened to enter the machine, forcing it to stop the advancement. She leveraged the chances by putting a foot against the countertop and pushing herself backwards, along with the piece of paper.
Aizen watched the scene in total awe, and when the paper cracked in the middle, his awe turned into amusement. He knew what was about to happen …
"Ahhhhh!" yelled Karin at the top of her lungs, while clashing violently in a near by table. The stack of papers safely deposited there, spread all over the place due to the trauma of being disturbed, some of them fitting themselves in her already messy hair.
She flexed the arm's muscles, raising the upper part of her body from the ground … only to slip on a greasy photo representing a horse. The back of her head hit the ground with a loud bang that shook the whole room. From under them, a woman's voice screamed something about delaying the furniture moving for later, preferably the break. Nobody knew that Karin's head was as heavy as a piece of furniture.
In the mean time, Aizen was smirking at her predicament. The look on her face was priceless, and the man was sure he will never forget it.
"Are you done staring at me?" snapped Karin at the said man, earning an expected answer in return.
"No" the arrogant smile widened on his face "It's way too entertaining"
"Motherfucker"
"I'm not going to respond to this"
"You'd better not" she glared at him, but realized that her back was severely hurt by the double fall, making a stunt like earlier impossible "… now help me up"
It took all the pride plus an extra annoyance to say those words. For Kurosaki Karin to declare she needed help was one hell of an exception. However, the man smirked, his perfect shaped teeth shining dangerously at her; this was, as Karin will learn on her own skin, a sign of future irony. And as predicted Aizen told her, the same old scary smirk still painted on his lips.
"Afraid you'll fall again?" when Karin didn't approve, he continued "Or unable to rise from the ground?" she stiffened, resembling a wooden board. Even she knew how ridiculous she looked in that moment, elongated on the ground, rigid and with a face that could kill the dead … and if she knew, Aizen was just as aware of it.
"Shut up … Mr. Smarty Pants"
"Hit a nerve?"
"Fuck off"
"Why, thank you." And he left the chair in a swift movement, walking towards the door. It was no philosophy to see that he was preparing to leave the laboratory.
"What are you doing Samaki?" inquired Karin, still on the ground, but looking slightly better. A stripe of red had appeared on her cheekbones, coloring her previously white face.
"Obviously going home"
"You can go home, but first help me up"
Karin commanded with a rough tone, leaving no space for contradiction, but Aizen didn't give a shit about her request. As a matter of fact, he had his pride to keep in place, and obeying a snotty girl was not on the to-do-list.
"You do not command me little girl … nobody commands me" he growled his eyes sparkling with annoyance. Inside his hazel orbs that dangerous spark appeared again in order to establish his place as a true villain.
As a result, Karin felt the insult, but a wave of uneasiness washed over her being: maybe it was from the fact that those freaky eyes were digging holes in hers, maybe it was from the fact that her back was hurting more and more in the uncomfortable position, maybe it was from the fact that her gatekeeper described her as a "little girl", or maybe it was a little bit of all of them.
However it meant nothing, since Karin wasn't the one to get over things, especially when they involved an insult directed at her person. So she snarled angrily
"I'm not a little girl …"
"Yes … you are right" agreed rapidity Aizen, which took Karin by surprise, but it didn't last long because the man continued confirming the girl's guess "You are not a girl" he even checked her figure one last time, hoping for a change "… definitely not a girl"
Karin's reiatsu spiked in anger, but Aizen didn't notice due to his reiatsu sucking gigai and annoyance over the obvious fact that a human girl had the audacity to try … no … to give him orders. She was one hell of a lucky woman, because if it wasn't for the obnoxious gigai and Soul Society's spies, he would have snapped her neck in two a long time ago … But time wasn't a problem … sooner or later his powers will come back, and when they will …
'I will kill the whole Kurosaki family and their friends, along with this annoying creature' smirked Aizen at nobody in particular.
And he opened the door, exiting the room in a rush, leaving a dumbstruck Karin behind
…
"That's quite a god complex you have there Samaki"

A/N: I do not own Bleach or Microsoft; believe me on this.
This is the necessary bonding period. I cannot make them fall in love instantly … they are far too complex and let's be serious: any couple involving Aizen is hard to write :d … and if you think Aizen is OOC, I apologize, but this is the way I see him after what happened
