"Captain,"
Came Nanao's relieved voice as Kyoraku began to come round. It was so hard not to make a joke at the fact they were alone in his quarters but by the look on Nanao's face it really wasn't the time.
"I suppose seeing Hitsugaya then wasn't a dream," He looked at her.
"No, it wasn't," She replied solemnly.
"Good cause if I was dreaming about little boys instead of you I'd be getting worried." That one just slipped.
"Would you take this more seriously?" She wacked him with a book, "We have a traitor in our misits that took our youngest captain from right under our nose are your making jokes."
"Sorry," He rubbed his head and with the jokes out of the way got more serious, "You saw more than I did then."
"Hmm," Nanao backed off.
She explained to Kyoraku everything he missed. Aizen's arrival and Hitsugaya's reaction.
"Did look like he put the kid though a lot," Shunsui sighed sadly at the thought that Aizen had been the one to cause the boy to look like he did.
"When he noticed me he barked at Aizen that he wasn't going back to central 46 so Aizen took him by force," She finished.
"Central 46?" Shunsui blinked.
She nodded, "Thinking to over it would make sense as that is where all the orders for Rukia's execution have been coming out and the one place we are not allowed to go."
"Perfect for a hideout." The eighth captain said with a troubled expression.
Nanao nodded.
"Well this is a bad situation," He took a breath, "Needs to be handled delicately."
"I think Lieutenant Matsumoto should know though," Nanao stated, "I would say lieutenant Hinamori too but she is a little…unstable at the moment."
"And I'd like Jushiro in on this too," Kyoraku nodded, "How about I meet you at juu's in say…half an hour."
"Are you sure you're alright?" She questioned as he got up.
"You're so cute when you fuss over me," He smiled
"Forget I asked," She shook her head and shoved passed him.
"Danm," Renji cursed,
The Reatsu he felt was un-miss-able. Ichigo was fighting the squad 11 captain.
"No getting to him right now," Matsumoto sighed.
"Maybe we should tell my captain," Renji said, "Maybe he would step into the fight so that we can question that Kurosaki,"
They both knew the two of them stepping in the fight would mean nothing to Kenpachi Zaraki so their only hope was another captain who had more standing with the man.
"It seems like the best we can do," Matsumoto nodded.
The two turned towards the sixth.
"Rangiku!"
The strawberry blond turned to seen Nanao catching up.
"Shouldn't you be with you captain?" She asked looking at Nanao strangely, "War time orders and all."
"My captain is at the 13th and we need to talk to you," Nanao's steel eyes were serious, "It's urgent."
"I'm sorry Nanao," Rangiku shook her head, "Me and Renji have a lead to the whereabouts of my captain we were going to-"
"What?" She blinked, "W-What do you know?"
"When I went to visit Rukia she said that ginger ryoka had seen him," Renji told her,
"The maybe it's best you come too then," She looked at Renji, "What I wanted to talk about with Rangiku also concerns Hitsugaya."
Rangiku blinked, "You have some information?"
Nanao nodded, "But we shouldn't talk about it in the open like this. "
"Yeah but if we leave it like this that Ichigo kid's gonna die," Renji pointed out taking a glance in the direction the reatsu was coming.
"Well I'll put it this way," Nanao knew this would work, "We knew where he is and who took him."
At that,
"Renji we're going with her," Rangiku ordered to get a nod from the red head.
"Good come on."
Aizen dumped the unconscious boy on the ground of one of the central 46's chambers. He left the room and made a barrier on the door. Hitsugaya's little stunts lately had been quite entertaining for him but now he needed to get the boy to quieten down.
Torture had not been working or at least wouldn't work fast enough. Hitsugaya showed by not fighting back originally that it was beginning to get to him but it wouldn't be enough to get him to Hueco Mundo without trouble.
There was the option of simply keeping him sedated until they had somewhere to keep him but the extra luggage wasn't recommendable.
So the man walked to another of the cambers and broke the barrier. Inside this one lay the long steel katana that was Hyorinmaru.
Experiment #1: Zanpactou control.
Aizen needed a degree of control over Hitsugaya in order for him to successfully escape to Hueco Mundo and even without the Hogyoku he had a few theorised ways of going about this.
Theory one meant that his own zanpactou would have to dominant Hyorinmaru being able to control the dragon would give him sufficient influence over Hitsugaya.
Or he could find a way to directly connect the boy and Kyoka Sugetsu. It would give him a much more direct foothold in the boys mind but would be more difficult as he would likely have to disconnect the boy from Hyroinmaru somehow.
The man smiled.
How much fun he was going to have.
They had their meeting in the 13th. Renji, Rangiku, Ukitake, Shunsui and Nanao.
"Aizen…" Ukitake shook his head, "I can't…are we talking about the same man."
"I have no doubt in what I saw," Nanao stated since she was the only one to see both Hitsugaya and Aizen.
"Then we have to go get him." Matsumoto said simply, "We know where he is."
"But his ability is problematic." Nanao pointed out.
"But as far as we know he doesn't know we know about this." Shunsui said, "Otherwise he would have hid himself from you."
"But…" His lieutenant seemed a bit flustered, "We can't just rush in. Maybe it would be wise to report to the head captain."
"Master Yamamoto may not believe us," Ukitake sighed, "Since Unohona examined the body."
"He'd at least want an investigation the Juu," Shunsui shrugged, "Though he may not be able to look in central 46. Rules and what not."
"So what?" Renji came in, "We just leave Hitsugaya?"
"We can't do that," Rangiku stated, "I don't care what the head captain says."
"Rangiku, calm down," Nanao tried but the woman got to her feet.
"I will not just sit here knowing my captain has been tortured and might be going through more as we speak." She stood.
"We all understand that," Ukitake told her, "But if Aizen is really doing this we need to go about this carefully. He's a captain and a very smart man after all."
Rangiku reluctantly calmed down and sat back.
"Then what are we going to do?" She asked.
"I'll go to talk to Rukia," Ukitake said, "See if she has any more detail on who the other shinigami was that captured Hitsugaya before."
"And I'll go talk to the old man," Shunsui spoke, "Not a bad idea to at least try."
"What about us?" Renji asked.
"For now we need to wait," Ukitake didn't seem happy but it was true, "I know you don't want to but if we move too early would Aizen could easily move location."
"Right," The fellow student agreed, "Wait and see what the old man says at the least."
