Aizen's eyes narrowed as he looked to Kita listening to Ichimaru. "Where was Ichimaru when this happened, Kita?"
Kita shook her head. "I don't know."
"You mean to tell me he did not come to your aid?" Aizen asked her.
"He did. After the first attack and he stopped the second attack."
"I am sure he did. After all," Aizen looked from the corner of his eye at Ichimaru, a smirk crossed his lips. "He monitors the lower levels of Las Noches religiously. It's his favorite past time. You know this as well as I do." He lifted her head again and looked into her pained eyes. "I wonder how long he watched as the Espada ripped you apart. Listening to your screams and watching you bleed."
Kita closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her bruised cheek.
Two can play this game, Ichimaru.

Gin's smile dropped all of a moment before an icier one replaced the first one. "Oh, that's right," Gin exclaimed. "Szayel informed me about an experiment that would knock out all the systems in the lower levels for a while." He set a hand under his chin. "They were supposed to come back on, but I hadn't checked them yet." He waved his hand. "After all, my systems should be flawless."
Yumiko stood up quickly. "Then this is your fault? You did fail to protect her?"
Gin spread his arms. "An Espada should know when the game's gone too far, right?" Yumiko frowned again. "And it was the first time my system failed me." |

Yumiko frowned to herself. The Espada had never hurt her though she knew some could be rough. She looked down at the wound she was holding closed. How much of the wounds were from the Espada that attacked her and how much was from the other hollow? She shuddered, recalling her brush with the female crowd that night Mizue had awakened.
Gin continued to talk. "So since this is my first mistake, and she is necessary to Aizen's plans, don't you agree she should get her powers back so she can heal?"
Yumiko looked to Aizen. |

Kita pulled away from Aizen's touch and started to push up off the floor. She lost her balance as Yumiko caught her helping her steady herself. Kita pushed her away from her, but she was so weak Yumiko barely felt the force against her shoulder.
"It's no ones fault but my own. I braved the halls in the lower levels on my own like a fool. I thought I would make it to Master Gin's room safely. I was wrong." She used the bed to help steady her steps as she walked around everyone then stepped away from the edge. She staggered slightly then stood with a slight slump in her stature.
"Please excuse me while I go tend to my wound and clean up." She stepped toward the bathroom at a slow agonizing rate.

Yumiko frowned deeply, hesitating, then moved to her side again. "I will help. You look like you're going to pass out and I still owe you an apology." |

Kita looked to Yumiko her eyes a little softer. She gave her a warm smile and nodded. "Thank you, Yumiko."

Aizen stood from his kneeling position turning Kita and Yumiko's way as they walked toward the bathroom. Blood stained her left side her nightshirt dark red from her shoulder to the hem. "Kita!" Aizen called to her.
The two women stopped as Aizen walked toward them. Stopping behind Kita, he moved her long raven hair aside, grabbed the collar of her nightshirt from behind with both hands and ripped it from collar to hem. Kita winced her body tensing with a loud whining gasp. Aizen tossed back both pieces of the nightshirt revealing ten long claw marks down her shoulders, sides and back. The left side bleeding badly and the right starting to seep from her being up and moving around.
Aizen turned stepping back across the room. "Do what you can for Kita, Yumiko." He walked from the room back into the main room.

Yumiko smiled grimly. "Thank you, my lord," she called after him, and helped Kita into the bathroom. She looked around the room. "Would it be best to lay down or sit before I help?" |

"I stood in the shower with running water last night while Master Gin cleaned me up." She looked to Yumiko. "It won't matter to me. Whatever is more comfortable for you." She walked farther into the bathroom, Yumiko closing the door behind them.

Gin leaned off the wall and returned to the main room as well. Further in the room, Aizen was inspecting the damaged screen. He wasted no time with simple conversation as he closed the bedroom door and approached his former master. "Did you set the Sexta on her?" he hissed. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up in warning, but the fox ignored the danger. He would know the answer.

"Why would I order Sexta to harm her, Ichimaru?" Aizen turned looking at him a smirk across his lips. He stepped away from the console and walked slowly across the room.

"Because you don't like it when you suspect someone is lying to you," Gin retorted, "and you were angry last night." He waved his hand. "That rarely leads to a good combination." He paused. "And if you had done something too close to Yumiko's chambers, you might have had another surprise attack on your hand." He tilted his head at Aizen. "Out of curiosity, how powerful was her Shinsou when it cut into your arm?"

Aizen chuckled and looked over his shoulder at Ichimaru. "Worried, Ichimaru? Afraid it is as strong," he paused, "or stronger than your Shinsou?" He looked at his arm sliding the sleeve of his shihakusho up. The wound already healed.
"I still have my arm. So what would your conclusion be?" His eyes then fell on the hairpins on a small table. He picked one up and pulled the sheath from it. He held the blade up into the light as the crimson blade glowed in his hand. It was like it was angry for him hold it.
"Kisuke is quite the craftsmen. Wouldn't you say?"

Gin looked down at the blade in Aizen's hand. It was harmless at the moment, a pretty decoration for her hair. "You've always known that. He's the one man that's close to your intellectual equal on their side. And he's always been good at finding weapons for anyone, human, hollow, or soul reaper. Kita's no exception," he commented quietly. |

Aizen smirked nodding his head. He then quickly lifted his hand and released the dagger as it flew straight toward Ichimaru. Ichimaru did not move as he watched the dagger come toward him. As quickly as Aizen released it Ichimaru grabbed it from flight before it hit him dead in the chest.
Aizen chuckled. "Still sharp as ever, Ichimaru."
He sat to the couch crossing his legs and relaxing back into it. "I heard you killed the second attacker. Vacanze's fraccion they say. I am sure he will not be pleased with that. You might want to keep a closer eyes on Kita. He might decide an eye for an eye." He smirked.
