Decisions, decisions, decisions

Continued from Aizen's New Turn

Gin swept into his control room after completing his usual rounds of the halls of Las Noches. With a mischievous glint in his azure eyes, he entered the pass-code on his monitor and then began switching up the hallways, taking care to add plenty of drops near the First Espada's sleeping domain and a few more dead ends near the Fifth and Sixth's rooms. He continued tinkering with the castle's lower levels as thought further on his master's latest plan for the seraph, Kita.

Fixing this without her breaking wouldn't be easy. He couldn't care less about the captain. His perfection and endless kindness got on this reaper's nerves. No one was that nice without ulterior motives. That show would be quite entertaining; however, he did not feel the same way about breaking Kita. Her personality alleviated the boredom of this place, and she had more spirit than the shrimp Inoue. Sighing, he found himself looking back on the moment in her cell before the first attack on Karakura Town.

"Maybe he's giving you the benefit of a second chance," he had suggested as they sat in her cell. "As long as you stick with your truth, you may stay happy and less harmed, my dear."

I am where I should be and where I want to be. Ulquiorra is my Master and at his side is where I belong. I will serve Aizen as he sees fit and I will do what is needed and ask of me.” Kita smiled.

The Lord of Las Noches, his master's smirk turned even more conniving as he stepped closer. He softly rested his hand to the top of Kita’s head looking to Gin. “I have to say I like her better this way. She might turn out to be a long term keeper.”

"Maybe kidnapping Ukitake after getting her to see that kind of truth wasn't the best idea I ever had," Gin admitted aloud then chuckled. "But the look on the idiots' faces nearly makes it worth it." A moment later, he frowned.

As the door of her cell closed, Kita screamed out. "IF YOU LET HIM DIE I WILL BE A THORN IN EVERYONE'S SIDE IN LAS NOCHES. I WILL NEVER BEND IF HE DIES. I WILL DIE BEFORE I GIVE ANY OF YOU WHAT YOU WANT! I SWEAR THAT ON THE HEAVENS ABOVE! I SWEAR IT!!"

"God or not, I will break the Seraph and make her mine. Then it won't matter if they break her bonds with her master. She will come running back whenever she is taken." The wicked light danced in Aizen's dark eyes. A lesser person would have cowered. Gin felt himself drawn deeper towards his own ends. "She is a pawn that is needed in my plot and I will not let her go so easily."

Decision, decisions, decisions. Why did he feel the need to struggle in making more of them when the hardest part of his journey was supposed to be over? A few moments passed before he snickered, an evil light in his own eyes.

"I shouldn't complain about it finally getting fun." He wiped the map clean and shut the room down. Finally, he opened a portal and left for the Living World to spy on the shopkeeper's slow work rebuilding his house.
