Deception

He was his secret weapon… whether he admits it to himself or not, he needed him. When all else fails, and with the silent uproar within his army… The recent betrayal of a number of Numeros which he confirmed when he lured his bait, Aizen vowed to himself that he would never take any chances this time. And now that he has Arturo Plateado as one of his subordinates, he would by all means have the one thing that he desired the most…

Absolute power… that was what he aimed for when he joined as a shinigami, and that hunger kept on until he climbed his way from a nameless shinigami to seated officer then later on promoted as captain of the 5th Division. He desired it so much that he would do anything, even sell his soul to the very devil if he just to have that power… and now he could almost feel it, taste it that he would not allow anyone to stand in his way. He betrayed his friends, his comrades, even turned his back from his own roots and identity just to attain it. His so called comrades in Hueco Mundo were merely puppets to him, and he can discard them anytime when he felt that they served their purpose. His hunger for power, to be called a god is what made him what he was – his hunger was his aphrodisiac and he will not stop until he can achieve it.

Aizen's reverie was broken when he felt Arturo's approaching reiatsu and stood up from his high seat, languidly glanced as the arrancar opened the door. Arturo entered followed by Ulquiorra.

"Ah… Plateado Arturo…" Aizen drawled, he looked at Ulquiorra and said icily, "you may leave us"

As Ulquiorra left, Aizen looked at Arturo and asked, "Are you getting bored here in Las Noches? Things are getting pretty exciting since we are being attacked recently, and my Espadas are excited"

"Hardly boring here in Las Noches, Aizen-sama, I find your Espadas - quite an amusing lot though" Arturo remarked sarcastically.

Upon hearing Arturo's reply, Aizen snickered and said "Do not worry mi amigo… in time you will have your own taste of battles. Your time will come"

"Is that so…then I will go to Seireitei in the meantime, since I am not needed at the moment. I too have my own task to accomplish; you are aware of that." And with that, Arturo left the room

You are lucky that I did not create you, you bastard. Aizen seethed silently. But since I have use of you - I will go easy on you and let you have your way… for now… and a wicked smirk appeared on his features.
