Chapter 0, Part 2: Shadows lurking in light

  -A few days later, Squad 1 headquarters-

  Love (Captain of the 7th squad): [I heard he have been suggested by captain Yuroichi.]

  He asked as he walked along with his friend Hirako

  [Can't say her suggestions are always good, but we'll see]

  Said the doubtful Hirako

  -Squad 1 headquarters, main hallway-

  They got closer to the Hall where the new captain will be introduced

  And they encountered Retsu Unohana, Kensei Muguruma and other captains...

  But the captain of the 10th squad never participated in any meeting

  They were introduced to Urahara Kisuke, an individual with a personality they didn't expect.

  Was Yuroichi's choice correct?

  Hirako and Love were walking out the room when Love suddenly said

  [Oh yeah, your Lieutenant have been caught spying on us...]

  Hirako: [What?!]

  He was shocked hearing that out of no where

  [Well “Caught” is not the right word since he didn't even try to hide it...

  We lat him go peacefully since his actions were not too suspicious.]

  He was quite disturbed...

  Hirako wondered “What am I hearing and what on earth Aizen was thinking?”

  Hirako: [...Didn't see him for a while now...

  Since his stupid behavior changed i barley even see him in headquarters.]

  Love: [Isn't he your lieutenant..?

  Be more concerned....]

  Hirako: [I know, i'll do something about him....

  I'm sorry ‘bout His “Spying” too,

  It won't happen again..]

  Love: [I hope you can keep that promise.]

  Aizen was not the same person anymore, he was acting like he is better than anyone else,

  Is calmer and more calculated now

  As if the “friendly and the most trustworthy man” had vanished and this soul reaper appeared using his image...

  [I'll Do it...]

  Was Aizen’s Last Words Before He Changed.... Or Should I Say, Stopped Acting

  He Stopped His Kyouka Suigetsu‘s Effect On Everybody, And Slowly Started To Show His Side That He Kept In Dark For So Long.

  With The Same Friendly Face, He Looked Intimidating....

  Soul Reapers Were Wondering “How a Lieutenant Had As High Of Spiritual Pressure As a Captain’s?”

  Yet He Didn't Show Everything, And Urahara Kisuke Was The One To Capture That Hidden Aspect Of Him

  Urahara Just Ended His Meeting With The Members

  He Felt Alien To This Place

  And His Lieutenant Hiyori?

  She Hated His Guts

  In One Hand, His Uncomfortable Role, And The Fact That His Members don't Like Him

  And In The Other Hand, Aizen...

  -Squad 12 Headquarters, The Garden-

  He Sat Alone On The Wooden Floor,

  He Was Thinking About His First Day, But More Concerned Of This New Guy Aizen,

  Those Rumors Were Getting Too Out Of Hand

  Hirako Visited Him, He Saw Him In Deep Thoughts

  He Caughed To Get His Attention

  Urahara Jumped, Not Expecting Anyone To Come

  Urahara: [C-Captain Shinji?!]

  Hirako: [Hey There, First Day And Already Too Tired?~]

  Urahara Chuckled Nervously

  Hirako Adviced Him To Be More Himslef

  [Don't Think About What Others Say Or Want You To Act Like.

  be Yourself]

  He Said And Walked Away

  Urahara Then Stood Up

  [WAIT!]

  He Yelled Behind him Who Stopped And Looked At Him With Surprise....

  Hirako: [....What?]

  Urahara: [I Am Greatful For Your Advice,

  Wanna Sit More And Drink Some Tea?]

  He Smiled

  Hirako Didn't Like His Smile, It Felt Like A Hidden Massage....

  Hirako: [Sure, Why Not..]

  They Say More And Drank Some Green Tea Togather

  Urahara: [It's A Cloudy Day Today, Don't You Agree?~]

  Hirako looked at the sky and it was clear, not a single cloud in sight,

  Hirako: [Too Cloudy Actually]

  Urahara: [It Seems You Know What I Want To Say,

  Was He Always Like That?]

  Hirako: [If You Mean Him Being Weird, Then Yeah... But If You Mean Suddenly A Different Person Out Of Nowhere, Then No...

  Even I'm Shocked.]

  Urahara: [I see... May I Visit You Tomorrow And Talk To Him?]

  Hirako: [What’re You Trying To Do..?]

  He Accepted Anyway, But Is Worried...

  Next Day In The Morning, Urahara Indeed Visited And Requested To Meet Aizen

  -Squad 5 headquarters, main hall-

  He Wanted To Understand This Aizen Guy

  Why He Changed And What Is He Thinking?

  Since Urahara Was A Former member of the 2nd Squad’s Detention Unit, He Couldn't Help But To Be Concerned About Such Suspicious Individuals And Capture Potential Threats

  Aizen walked inside the Hall.... And Urahara noticed his spiritual pressure....

  “Is this amount even possible?!”

  He wondered

  Aizen Sousuke, Had A Confident Yet Terrifying Smirk With A Tall Form Radiating with Authority...

  As If He Is Already A Captain.

  Urahara: [Are You.... Aizen-san...?]

  His Eyes Widened In Surprise....

  It Was The First Time He Ever Met Him

  Aizen: [If It Isn't The New Captain Of The 12th Squad?

  Is Your New Rank Comfortable Enough?~]

  Was He Mocking Him?

  Urahara Indeed Wasn't Comfortable, But No One Tried To Mock Him So Far.

  Urahara: [Kind Of.... I Am Here To Ask A Question,

  Who Are You Really?]

  Says Bluntly With A Smile

  Aizen Chuckles, And Narrowed His Eyes

  [Are You Accusing Me, Captain?]

  Urahara: [Don't Get Mad, I Am Just Asking...

  Let's Say I Want To Know You More]

  Aizen: [There Is No Need~]

  Urahara Frowns....

  [I Already Know Alot About You, Urahara Kisuke]

  He Said with a gentle Smirk

  Urahara: [What Are You-]

  Aizen: [I Am Talking About Your Previous Position.]

  He Cuts Him Off

  [I Know You are A Strategic Mastermind Who Worked In The 2nd Squad’s Detention Unit,

  Should I Say More?~]

  Urahara Was Shocked, He Felt Exposed, His Life Was Not As Personal As He Thought It Was...

  Aizen: [Enjoy Your Stay, Urahara Kisuke, If You Excuse Me I Have Something Important To Do~]

  He Walked Away...

  Urahara: [If you Plan On Something Malevolent, I'll Put You In Jail.]

  He Said With A Serious Face

  But Aizen Just Smiled As A Respond

  Urahara Was Not Satisfied Yet, And He Didn't Think In A Million Year This Conversation Will Take Such A Direction

  But He Learned One Important Thing About Aizen....

  [He Is Dangerous]

  -Somewhere In Soul Society, Aizen’s House-

  Aizen Entered His Home, And Was Looking At His Researches On Hollowfication

  He Wanted To Try These, And See How A Soul Reaper Can Adjust Or Even Potentially Transform Into A Hollow

  But He Needed A Test Subject.....

  And He Didn't See Anyone Befitting This Project

  He Decided To Leave The Soul Society And Creat An Artificial Hollow And Use It To Experiment On Soul Reapers

  But He Delayed It Since He Had Something To Do Before Leaving

  A Week Have Passed And Everyone Got Used To His New Self

  Aizen Woke Up And Looked In The Mirror

  He Took Off His Glasses, And His Hair Turned Dark Brown,

  He Stopped Disguising.

  He Wanted To Show The Soul Society His Real Self Before He Leaves

  He Walked Towards His Squad’s Headquarters When People Saw This New Man Approaching

  They Didn't Let Him In

  [From What Squad Are You And What's Your Business Here?]

  The Guards Told Him

  [What's Wrong With This Guy..?]

  A Guard Noticed His Intimidating Presence

  Aizen: [Such Disrespect Is Not Allowed Towards Me~]

  He Smirked Slightly And Passed Them

  That Voice.....

  There Is Only One Person who Had A Gentle Yet Manecing Voice Like Him...

  [AIZEN-DONO!!]

  They yelled In Shock As They Recognized Him

  Not Believing Their Eyes, They Let Him In

  As He Walked Confidently And Tall Through The Hallways, All Eyes Were On Him

  First His Personality Changed Now His Appearance

  “What Happened To Our Friendly Lieutenant?”

  He Entered The Captain's Office

  Aizen: [I Know I Am Late But I Had Something To Do, I Hope You're Not Displeased~]

  Hirako: [It's Fine]

  He Was Looking At The Ceiling, Oblivious To His Lieutenant's Transformation

  He Turned To Him

  [It's Not Like We Have Anything Impor-

  A-AIZEN?!]

  To Be Continued...
