Lily was going through the barracks of Captain Commander Shunsui as she was looking for something. She had no idea what she was looking for, but she'd know it when she found it. As she went through papers and empty sake bottles, she accidentally hit a secret button, opening a door, "Where does this go?" Lily asked herself as she saw a staircase going down. Slowly taking her time to go down the stairs, she grabbed a nearby hand-rail and continued her way down. She walked and walked for who knows how long until she reached the end. It was cold, as she could see her breath every time she breathed, "M-man, i-it's c-cold down here," Lily whispered as she started to shiver. She then walked down the hall into a large room, devoid of light, "What is this place?" Lily said

"My, my, this is a surprise," a voice out of the darkness said as Lily looked in the direction the voice and saw a man with brown hair and an eye-patch

"W-who are you?" Lily stuttered, still cold from the room

"You're freezing, aren't you?" the man asked

"Y-yes, I-I a-am," Lily replied

"Come here," the man ordered as Lily walked toward him. Lily got closer to the man as he looked at her and smiled, "Oh my, what's a beautiful girl like you doing in a place like this?" the man asked, causing Lily to blush

"I-I w-was f-fin-ding s-some-thing," Lily said as the man motioned for her to come to him

"What's your name?" the man asked

"L-Lily, L-Lily L-Loud," Lily answered

"Ah, what a wonderful name for one such as yourself," the man said, making Lily blush even more, "my name is Aizen, Sosuke Aizen,"

"A-Aizen?" Lily repeated

"Yes?" Aizen asked

"W-why are you here?"

"I'm here because I did something wrong. The person who should be asking the questions shoulder be me, young lady," Aizen replied

"O-okay," Lily said, nodding

"Are you cold?" Aizen then asked

"Y-yes," Lily stuttered

"Then hop on my lap, I'm sure I can fix the cold," Aizen said as Lily was hesitant. But the cold was getting to her as she slowly climbed onto Aizen's lap, the ladder of which wrapped an arm around her and cradled her, "Better?"

"Be-better," Lily answered

"Good... how old are you?" Aizen asked

"1-12... 12 years," Lily said

"Oh, really? Are you sure? You're so tall for your age, yet of course, there is that one Captain. what was his name? Tōshirō?" Aizen asked

"Y-you know Tōshirō?" Lily asked

"Of course, we used to work together,"

"W-what was he like? B-before becoming a captain?"

"Hmm... I'd say... he was childish," Aizen stated

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, he'd always be on other people and don't get me started when people called him a 'child'," Aizen said, causing Lily to giggle

"Hahahaha! That's funny,"

"I know... it is a bit funny... *sigh* I fear our time may run short, young Lily. But if you ever have the need to speak to someone, you're always welcome to talk to me," Aizen said as he moved his arm and helped Lily off his lap. Lily smiled as she bowed and started to make her way back to Shunsui's office, "Talk to you later, Mr. Aizen!" Lily said, waving to him

"Please, Lily, call me... Uncle Aizen," Aizen replied as she nodded and ran back to the stairs. When she was gone, Aizen smiled as he leaned back into his chair and said: "My, my, Lily... how much you've grown, since I last saw you,"
