The Hunt Begin

"Go ahead Ulquiorra, Grimjo. Show me what you experienced in the human world." Aizen asked, sitting on his throne. He, along with his dear Espadas were in their fortress the Las Noches located in Hueco Mundo.

"As you wish." As Ulquiorra said, he used a hand to grab his right eye and pulled it out from the socket. He then proceeded to crush it, using it as an intermediate to transmit his memories of what he saw in the human world.

"I see." After a while, Aizen said but his mind was working on something. "So that's why you decided he wasn't worth killing." Although he said so, he already long planned that it would be such.

"Yes sir, As our orders were to 'kill him if it seems as though he might become an interference to us.' and also to "Draw his brother out and take it to you.' But as you saw the second mission was unsuccessful."

"He was weak, but at least, he entertained me a little." Grimmjow said. Although they were not able to bet Daiki out, he was at least able to take it off on the orange-haired Shinigami. "I say Ulquiorra, you should have let me kill him. I am sure that would have been enough to make the other come out of his hiding spot." Grimmjow wanted to fight, and from the words of lord Aizen, he was pretty strong.

"That was not necessary, you already broke his arms, and put him in a state of comatose. That is enough to make sure he wouldn't interfere in our plans even if he wanted." Ulquirro disclosed surprising news.

"I still think, you shouldn't have stopped me, he is an enemy after all. And enemies are better off dead than alive." Grimmjow wasn't convinced.

"And you think we could have been able to do that under Yoruichi and Urahara's watch?" Ulquiorra asked, he wasn't the least confident of being able to do that. At least not without revealing more than he should.

"That-..." Grimmjow wanted to argue but he knew that Ulquiorra was right on this one. He, before meeting them for sure thought he could beat them with no effort. But his opinion changed after seeing the real deal.

"You are saying, if you worked together you wouldn't still be able to beat them?" Yami wasn't convinced. "I should have gone with you after all."

"Me?" Grimmjow shouted. "Working together with him." He pointed at the quiet Ulquiorra. "You must be dreaming!"

"Apart from what your brothers may say, I'm impressed with your work." Aizen chooses to interrupt them. "Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, you did an excellent job." He felicitated them.

"I am very grateful." Ulquiorra bowed. While Grimjo just nodded but still was polite enough to acknowledge it "Thank you."

"If that's all, you can all return to your business." Azen instructed, and everyone, after some show of courtesy scattered.

'That was a surprise.' He didn't expect Daiki to not show up, since, from his calculations, that was something he would... no should do.

'But there is no need to worry, that was also a possibility I accounted for.' In his grand plan, nothing was left to coincidence, every and almost all possibility was accounted for. Even the captain meeting a while ago, predicting all of this was but child play for him.

Merely predicting for him was not enough, he manipulated and controlled for everything to be as he desired, every pawn should be at their place on the board.. and that place was where he willed them to be.

Speaking of pawns, one of his bests if not the finest was none other than the Kurosaki brothers. But the future he designed for them couldn't be more different.

He had been plotting for years, manipulating behind the scene so that they became what they are today.

While he made everything for the younger twin who inherited White, to become something more. The older one wasn't that important in his book.

He at first was caught by surprise that Masaki had twins, but it was just a mere setback, he just had to adjust his plan a little more. So in this perspective, he exposed the older brother to his ability, Kyoka Suigetsu, or "complete hypnosis." It was in no way hard since the boy was but a mere kid, while Isshin lost his powers.

From then on, he just had to do some subtle, adjustments from time to time. He would make the boy see what he wanted him to see, and hear what he wanted him to hear, it didn't have a great impact on him personality-wise, but it was enough for the boy to not cause much divergence in his original plan. In fact, he didn't plan much for the boy, he just didn't want him to mess up with his creation. But he couldn't also deny that the boy had some potential, he was still the son of a Shinigami and a Quincy after all. So he decided to accord the boys more attention.

He first contemplated if he should make the boy pass toward the hollowfication process but soon abandoned this idea. Why? Because it was just unnecessary.

Everything went accordingly to his plan, but something that he considered a possibility, even if the probability wasn't that high was for the boy to somehow acquire some powers. It was after their planned meeting with the vessel of the hogyoku, Kuchiki Rukia.

He attributed that to the result of Urahara's interference. He couldn't underestimate this man, he was the man that was also able to create a Hogyoku after all.

Starting from here, the boy became stronger and stronger, training under Urahara and Yoruichi, he still added his input here and there to make it more interesting, although originally not his priority, he wanted to see how far the boy could go.

And he wasn't disappointed, he grew, and he became stronger in a ridiculously short period of time. Unlocking all his potential contrary to Ichigo. Aizen didn't know how strong he became or he was as of now, but he knew for a fact that he shouldn't be weaker than an Espada.

That's the reason why he asked his dear Espada, Ulquiorra, and Grimmjow to take the boy to him if possible. He wanted to do some experiments, and if beneficial see if he could add him to his side.

But the boy was not present, what is more, surprising even is that since a while ago, his complete hypnosis was not properly working on the boy.

There could only be two possible reasons for that. Either the boy's spiritual energy became superior to his, or there is another weakness to Kyoka Suigetsu he doesn't know of.

The first one being impossible, he thinks it's the second one. Perhaps Urahara found another weakness he didn't. It's a possibility, almost nothing is perfect, and this is not the Bankai... Perhaps should he have... 'No.' He shook his head dismissing this Idea. Anyway, that doesn't matter, what made his strength wasn't his ability but his strength made his ability!

"Since you didn't deem to appear when your brother was in danger. I wonder, Daiki, what are you going to do?" He spoke out loud, supporting his chin with his hand. He was merely curious, taken by interest. How much more can the boy amuse him?

'So that's how it is.' Daiki's eyes were closed as he thought. Although he looked calm, He was taken long taken by anger. 'That fucker has been manipulating me all my life.' The result of the analysis was clear, no error was possible.

Aizen's Ability was based on the manipulation of the five senses but Lune scanning and Analyse have nothing to do with those so it was able to discover anything that was wrong with me and when it was.

"And for this, you will pay!" Daiki opened his eyes, they were cold, cold like never before. He never had so much wanted to kill someone.

'But rushing to his base is not the best option... I still don't even know how much time passed since I left, nothing to tell me that the time ratio is 1/1' He would first make the necessary preparation here and then go back to make further plans. He also had to make sure that everyone was alright.

That's why he got up from his bed and got out.

Three days, the last day of this week was the day he would go back, and that was the day that signed the beginning of the war. Not a war between shinigami and Hollows, but a war between him and Aizen.

He would take revenge, even if he had to do it alone. Well not alone, he also has his shadow army.

Getting out of his room, meeting Genos he greeted as he passed by, not stopping a single second.

"Daiki-san, where are you going? Are you fine?" Genos remarked that something was wrong with the man today, so he decided to ask. Something about Daiki's aura was different.

"I am fine, don't worry." Daiki opened the door while talking, then he looked at Genos, his cold eyes, making the cyborg shiver a bit. "As for where I am going." He said as he got out, closing the door and letting his final words behind.

"I am going to hunt."

***

He will be hunting monsters, with full efficiency to expand his army, and what he wants is powerful Shadow Soldiers, so guess where he is going to look for them?
