Gin looked out the window of the fifth division wishing that he could get started at the third division sooner rather then later. Letting out a deep breath he continued to watch a butterfly flit across the window. Aizen seem to have noticed his boredom and decided to speak up. "Why don't you go and bother the child that is holed up in the forth division?"

"Ehh?" The young man turned his head to look at the man.

"Haven't you heard? There was a child brought in. People have said that the child painted on the forth division wall."

The silver haired man frowned. "But Unohana won't let me play with the kiddo like that. I'm surprised that he was able to paint the wall." He turned his head back to watch the butterflies. "Why would Unohana let Shiro-chan pain on the wall?"

"Apparently he was left unsupervised for a period of time."

"Better question is why would Shiro-chan go and do something like that? He's a very polite child and wouldn't go wrecking people's stuff."

"I'm surprised that you aren't taking a greater interest in this Gin-kun."

Gin found himself turning his head, frowning at the man. "Why should I?"

"Apparently what the child painted was his zampaktuo spirit."

The man found his eyes widen suddenly. "Shiro-chan, you idiot." He snapped his eyes shut and let the fake grin spread across his face. "What, is there another child genius?"

"Seems so... but..."

"Don't wanna have competition."

"Typical. As I was saying, the child isn't speaking. Chances are the thing that he drew on the wall is just some imaginary friend. He's honestly not worth my time either way."

"Either way?"

"I don't have to worry about whether I could use him to my advantage or him figuring out. His mind is addled."

"Oh... but isn't my mind addled as well. People are always saying that."

"Your mind is addled in a way that I can use you."

"I see." Gin turned back to the window. "I'm glad though that he has no interest in Shiro-chan. But him painting Maru-chan onto the wall?"

"Don't you want to see Shiro-chan again? I want to see Maru-chan again."

"Shut up."

"I want to see Shiro-chan's picture of dear Maru-chan. I bet it's cute. Like Shiro-chan."

"Shut up Shinso."

Aizen took no interest in the child and instead focused his attention on the three academy students who were supposed to be graduating that year. He went and nontenured for the chance to help the students decide what division they would be best in while Isshin tagged along beside him. "Why exactly is the head of the Shiba clan choosing to go and help with this. Not to offend here, but normally you're goofing off like Gin-kun is."

"How much longer are you going to be calling Gin-chan that?"

"Ah... yes. His promotion to captain rank is soon." Aizen continued walking along.

"Well... there are a few kids my brother met that I haven't had the chance to meet yet."

"That your brother met?"

"Yeah... the girl is the older sister of the little boy that Miyako is caring for in the forth division."

"Ah... the supposed child genius."

"Child genius?" Isshin held a hand behind his head. "Kaien's told me that the child is smarter then Ganju. You've met my brother though so you know that isn't really saying much. Ganju's pictures of Bonnie, our family's pet boar look like poop."

"I am going to remind you here that not only are you the head of your clan but you're also a taicho."

"Oh... yeah!"

"And I'm going to remind you that you need to behave in front of the academy students."

"And what might I go and do that would be so bad."

"I am thinking you'll hit on the female students."

"Now where would you get that idea from?"

"From the fact you hit on anything that isn't the same sex as you just like Kyoraku Taicho."

"Why, thank you!"

"That wasn't a compliment."

"I know it wasn't."

Aizen let out a sigh and was glad when they finally arrived at the school. Isshin of course sat in his given chair with a great deal of exuberance. He then crossed his arms behind his head and gave a big grin. Aizen of course remained still while some members from the other division came in. Isshin suddenly stood up upon seeing Nanao.

"Hey! Juushi-chan! Good morning too you!" The man then grinned at the man. "See... I don't flirt with everyone!'

"Shiba Taicho." Aizen pushed up his glasses. "Need I remind you that there are four people between you and me and you just blurted out the fact you have a problem flirting with the females in front of the entire student body of this graduating year?"

"Oh..."

Nanao let out a sigh. "I'm also going to add the fact it is afternoon which means you were drinking this morning just like my taicho."

"No! This morning I was taking a nap!"

"You mean that you were sleeping in."

"That too... then I took a nap right afterwords."

Giggling could be heard from some of the females and Aizen let out another sigh. "Behave yourself."

"Yes sir."

The students began to file through the line. The three he was interested in stopped at each of the tables which surprised him as he knew they were inclined towards the fifth division. He said hello to them and discussed their division and they moved along. Momo then paused in front of Isshin. "Ahh! Kaien-dono."

Aizen turned his head to look at Isshin in time to see Isshin stand up. "No! It's oji-chan Isshin!"

The man flinched when he saw the man glop the little girl while her three male companions looked at the man in shock. Yes... the group of friends had grown from just three too four. Aizen simply went back to keeping his mask up. Afterwords he walked with Isshin towards the tenth division. "So... that little girl is the older sister of the child?"

"Hmm... Momo -chan? Yeah. Kaien and Miyako are thinking about adopting both."

Aizen bid the man farewell and headed to the forth, hiding his presence. He looked into the room. He barely got to glimpse what the child had painted as the child caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye and began getting upset.. He headed back towards the fifth and Gin stuck his head up. "Something wrong?"

"Apparently something occurred so I may not be able to use those three the way I wanted too."

"Oh?"

"Well... they aren't anywhere near as useful as a child prodigy I've been grooming for fifty plus years."

"I love the fact I'm im...por...tant!"

"Yes... you would."
