*~*~*~*
Peeking into Ichigo's bedroom, Shinji checked that Ichigo was resting without any worry; the moonlight streaming through the sheer curtains, landing over his hip to spill down over Sado who laid on a futon. Nodding his head, he left the room and walked down to the living room where Yumichika sat with a cup of coffee, looking beautiful in even a pair of boxers and a baggy shirt. Sitting down next to his friend, Shinji picked up the latest journal of Isshin Kurosaki, finding the newest entries.
“It looks as if they stepped up their stalking in February and really created a world of paranoia for him,” Yumichika finally said, Shinji nodding his head with a small frown on his lips. “This makes me wonder how long they were watching them without anyone knowing about it. You have to watch someone for nearly a full year to learn everything about them just so you can create a proper fear in them.”
“More than likely were. Isn’t one of the Bounts rather good at surveillance and spying?” Shinji asked, his nose already buried in the journal before him, eyes wide as he read over the information.
“I believe that was Spy Bug, otherwise known as Cain. He’s one of the younger ones from what we know,” Yumichika replied, frowning at his coffee cup. “Do you think Kariya knows or feels that Ichigo-san might have a latent Talent?”
“If he had them all followed around? I would have to say yes; and if Ichigo appeals to him enough, then he probably changed his plans in regards to somehow adding Ichigo to the Bounts,” Shinji replied, flipping a page in the journal. “But if Ichigo-chan's charisma is adding to that interest, I fear that Kariya may want more than just his Talent,” he continued, finally putting the journal aside as he gazed Yumichika. “We both know that he lusts after strong Talents. And if they’re good looking? That’s just an added ego boost.”
“So he might actually want Ichigo-san as a bed partner more then he would want his Talent to awaken?” Yumichika asked, violet eyes flashing in distaste at the thought.
“No, he’ll want the Talent as much as he’ll want sex if my thinking is correct. Tell me, Yumi-kun, do you think our dear Ichi-chan is a virgin?” Shinji asked with a raised eyebrow.
“With the way he acts? He’s much to shy not to be one, if a bit on the hot headed side,” Yumichika said, frowning at Shinji. “What does that have to do with our conversation, Shinji?”
“Everything, in a way, at least when it comes to profiling Kariya. But you’re wrong about Ichi-chan. He’s had sex before, often for that matter. But he’s good at hiding certain details about his personal life,” he hummed, smirking at Yumichika's wide eyed look at the fact. Waving off the coming questions, he continued. “Now, the sexual appeal of Ichigo is that he looks and acts untouched. What if that’s the way with Kariya? What if he wants to control Ichigo in all ways possible and that includes being his first and last?”
“So, control through sex is one possible way this guy could control our dear Ichi-chan. Another way is to insulate and break him down in such a way that Ichigo-san would be dependent upon him. He could even mix the two,” Yumichika moaned, Shinji nodding.
“Oh yes. It all seems to start with Ichigo in some way. Kariya is more than likely obsessed with him if he is still working on the Kurosaki cases, and this chick, Orihime, has a hard on for him worst then Soi-Fon-san does, which says a lot,” Shinji growled, tossing the journal down onto the table. Standing up, he paced back and forth before the window.
“And neither Kariya nor who called the job on the Kurosaki's probably expected Byakuya-san to pull out the big guns so soon, especially to watch over everyone that is connected to Ichigo-san. What do you think Kariya's next move will be?” Yumichika asked, watching Shinji peek out of the curtains before letting them drop back down.
“I have no idea. He may continue to watch and wait for the perfect opportunity to grab him or he may just flat out try to kidnap him,” Shinji sighed, dropping onto the couch once more, a frown tugging at his lips.
“I suppose we’re just gonna have to watch and wait, possibly burst out dear Bounts bubble this time around. We can only hope we get the chance to take them out finally,” Yumichika drawled, draining his coffee cup and standing up to get a fresh cup. “On another note, what did Aizen-san and Gin-kun say about Sado-san's problem?” he asked as Shinji followed after him.
“That we need to keep him from Orihime until he has the skills to unlock memories once more at the very least, hopefully up to when he can hide that knowledge from her,” Shinji replied. Pulling down his own mug, he was glad when Yumichika poured his coffee for him, adding some creamer as Yumichika added just sugar to his. Leaning against the counter, he fingered the gun that was sitting on his hip in its holster.
“So I suppose I’ll start that while I’m here. Who will take over for me afterwards?” Yumichika asked, looking over the rim of his cup.
“Gin-san will actually, or at least that’s what he said. All you have to do is lay the base for his training with Gin-san. He’s also taking over protections since Sado-san might end up on the Bounts radar since he made up with Ichi-chan,” Shinji said, smiling and sipping at his coffee as Yumichika nodded, looking as if he was already planning what he was going to do.
“What about this Orihime girl? What does Aizen-san plan on doing about her?” he asked after a few moments. Shinji gazed into his coffee, before looking up with a curious look, getting a smug smile in return. “What? She’s a danger. On top of that, she could have information and not even know it, especially since she worked as the receptionist in Kurosaki-sans clinic.”
“Ah, I see,” Shinji drawled teasingly. Dodging the swat, he laughed at his friend who was starting to pout.
“Just tell me, you jerk,” Yumichika huffed, deciding that it was too much work to actually hit Shinji.
“Fine, fine. He’s gonna talk with her next week, after he interviews a few others that Byakuya-san talked with during the first week,” Shinji drawled, brushing his hair back out of his face. “So, sometime next week, as long as the Bounts don’t make a move before then, he will call us together for a meeting and he’ll tell us what has been found out. By then, all of the tests will be done and we’ll have more information on what happened with the Kurosakis.”
“Sounds like a good plan to me,” Yumichika hummed, getting a nod. After a final check of the windows and locks, the two headed for bed, Shinji crawling in next to Ichigo since he had given up his bed to Sado. Gazing at the braid that had draped itself over one shoulder, he promised himself to protect the red head, even if it meant dying himself or killing his opponent.
*~*~*~*~*
Tapping his pen on his desk, Aizen looked to Shunsui, who just smirked and shrugged his shoulders with a smile dancing on his lips.
“And why can’t our dear Byakuya-san be the one to sit on the interviews?’ he asked him slowly, eyes half lidded as he gazed at Shunsui who just laughed lowly.
“Because he’s with Jyuushiro-kun to scan those letters and diaries that they found. Apparently they also found letters from Karin Kurosaki and they found Yuzu Kurosaki's massive recipe book,” Shunsui replied. He was dressed rather simply, wearing a pair of tanned slacks and a dark blue button up shirt. “So, who is coming in first?” he asked, Aizen looking at an appointment book that sat open near his computer.
“Tatsuki Arisawa. She is apparently the best friend of Orihime Inoue, who I will be interviewing alone next week,” Aizen stated, starting to move things around. Three pens were moved to within easy reach, two very thick legal pads were placed before him and a stack of stapled together papers with printed questions were placed next to the legal pads.
“Why alone?” Shunsui asked, watching as Aizen set up his desk for easy access to everything. A camera sat on the corner of the desk, propped up on a tripod and pointing towards the chair before the desk. Shunsui was sitting on a couch to the side, watching Aizen as he sat back finally.
“Due to the fact that she may be a Talent and there aren’t many that can block their mind properly enough to not be affected by her abilities,” Aizen said, frowning lightly to himself. “I’m also going to speak with Sado-san before I speak with her. I have a feeling that I’m going to need to speak with him to be properly prepared for the interview with her.”
“I see,” Shunsui drawled, the two looking at the door when someone knocked on it in sharp, firm raps.
“Aizen-san, your interview appointment is here,” Szayel said as he opened the door, standing there with a frown on his face. “And tell me why I’m playing secretary? Can’t anyone else do this? I have samples to test and run to Urahara,” he asked, pink eyes flashing in disgust.
“Because I don’t trust Grimmjow to do it and everyone else is gone doing their own jobs. For now, go ahead and head to your own office. I’m not expecting anyone else for a couple of hours yet,” Aizen promised, Szayel rolling his eyes.
“You can go in now,” Szayel told the young woman standing behind him. She gave him a long look before turning dark eyes towards Aizen and walking into the office. Szayel closed the door behind her and left for his lab, leaving the three alone.
“Ah, you must be Tatsuke Arisawa. I am Sosuke Aizen, the one who called you in. I know that Byakuya-san had Kira-san talk with you the day that they found the Kurosakis, but I’m hoping to go over the details with you now that the shock of their deaths has hopefully worn off,” Aizen greeted, looking very calm and relaxed behind his desk. “This is also Shunsui Kyoraku, who works in the same division as Byakuya-san and Kira-san. He’s here in an official capacity and to make sure everything is legal and useable when and if the case goes to court.”
“Why do you say if?” Tatsuki asked, frowning at him with a worried look.
“There is a high chance that the case would never see the light of day. The statue of limitations can run out, or the suspects could end up disappearing into a no extradition country,” Aizen replied, leaning forward and lacing his fingers together. “Worst case scenario can be that they would fight, taking out several officers, possibly civilians and the suspect could be taken out by the fire fight.”
“I see,” Tatsuki hummed, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair, frowning at Aizen even more. “What’s with the camera?”
“This is for future reviews should I need it,” Aizen explained. Reaching over, he turned it on and fiddled with the screen, making sure that the camera was catching her just right. Picking up a pen, he wrote down the date, time, place, her name and some other basic information on the front page of his first legal pad. “This is Sosuke Aizen, head of The Guardians Bodyguard service with Shunsui Kyoraku, ballistic expert of The Homicide Specialty Unit interviewing Tatsuki Arisawa on October 21st, 2003. We are discussing the Kurosakis and their lives before their deaths.
“Now, Arisawa-san, please answer all of the questions as clearly as you possibly can and as thoroughly as possible,” he said, smiling at her and getting a nod from her. “Arisawa-san, how did you know the Kurosakis?”
“I used to know Kurosaki-san's oldest child, Ichigo Kurosaki. When Ichigo was kicked out of their house 3 years ago I kept in touch with Yuzu-chan and Karin-chan, teaching Karin-chan some self defense moves,” Tatsuki said, crossing her legs, voice even and almost bored.
“So, even though Ichigo-san left the house, you kept in contact with the family. I’m curious as to why,” Aizen replied, raising an eyebrow as he wrote a few notes down.
“I kept in contact with them at first because of Orihime-chan. She was hoping at first that Ichigo would change his mind about his life style and come back,” Tatsuki admitted slowly. “After that, I did it because I got to really know them, and to get closer to Yuzu-chan and Karin-chan.”
“Alright,” Aizen hummed, jotting more notes down on the pad before him. Frowning lightly, he looked up before gazing at Shunsui, who was looking interested at the moment. “Shunsui, feel free to ask a question if one strikes you.”
“Arisawa-san, you said that at first Orihime Inoue thought that Ichigo-san would change and come back. What exactly did you mean by that?’ Shunsui asked, Aizen jotting a note down on his legal pad about the question.
“She was really, really pissed off when it came out that Ichigo had lead what she called a double life. He looked rather normal for a guy while at school and the such, but it came out that he often went to gay pride things as a cross dresser and that he had had a few boyfriends,” Tatsuki said, rubbing at her bottom lip. “She thought it was a phase that he would grow out of.”
“But he never did. What happened with her after the fact that he wasn’t going to change became apparent?” Aizen asked, curious about what had happened. He would get back to the original line of questions in a few moments; he wanted to get all he could get on Orihime.
“She ranted for an entire day before hunting down Ichigo's second to last boyfriend. Apparently, she blamed him for Ichigo going gay and he told her off. That was about the time she got really odd. Mind you, her hunting down one of Ichigo's boyfriends had happened before with his last boyfriend, the one he had before he had been kicked out of the house,” Tatsuki explained, running a hand through her hair, looking down at her lap. “About that time, she started to work for Kurosaki-san, and got even weirder after that.”
“I see. Shall we continue on with my other line of questions?” Aizen asked, with a smile, getting a shy smile and a nod. “So, while you were out with Yuzu-san and Karin-san, did you ever see anything that made you worry?”
“Not really. I mean, they all were acting off for a few months but than stopped for a few months, than they started up again for the last few,” Tatsuki replied, blinking a few times. “Kurosaki-san was constantly watching over the girls with a very careful eye. He even got them panic buttons and extra phones just in case,” Tatsuki said.
“And the girls?” Shunsui prompted, the young woman looking over at him.
“Karin would go kick soccer balls so hard that they would pop after a while. After that, she would do her homework or have a movie marathon when she wasn’t with me or with Yuzu-chan,” she said, shrugging. “Yuzu-chan had damn near started a small business in their kitchen, baking so much that Kurosaki-san's patients had started to buy them for her. All that money went back into the ingredients from there.”
“I see,” Aizen hummed, writing down even more notes. The interview continued, the three going over anything else that Tatsuki could think of. After he had shown her out, Aizen looked at Shunsui and shook his head. “This Orihime girl keeps popping up. It’s almost as if she put herself in the middle of it on purpose.”
“Do you think that’s possible?” Shunsui asked curiously.
“At this point? I have no idea,” Aizen admitted, rubbing at his face as he sat down once more. Pulling out a file, he looked at the information about Orihime Ioune that Byakuya's people had found on Shunsui's request, before frowning and shaking his head, tossing it before him on the desk.
“God, it’s almost as if she was so squeaky clean that she nearly actually squeaked when she did things,” Aizen groaned unhappily. Shunsui raised an eyebrow at him in some curiosity. “No record with the police, her brother died when she was 14, parents died early in her years, good grades and a scholarship to her college,” he explained. “She worked part time to have a bit of extra money. Apparently her harassing Ichigo-san's exs were never reported or the charges never really went anywhere.”
“So the exs never turned her in and if she did get in trouble, there is every chance that she used her abilities to get away with it,” Shunsui said, Aizen nodding in agreement.
“Probably,” he stated, standing up as his phone buzzed in warning. “Our next interviewee is here,” Aizen stated, walking around his desk and opening his door, smiling at the lean male before him. He had black hair and eyes, his bangs flattering his face. “You must be Mizuiro Kojima. It’s a pleasure,” he greeted, smiling at the young man and holding out his hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Aizen-san,” Mizuiro replied with a smile, taking the hand before him, shaking it before he followed Aizen into the room and took a seat before the desk.
“This is Shunsui Kyoraku, the ballistics expert of the Homicide Specialty Unit. He’s here to make sure that I keep things legal so it can be used if the case goes to trial,” Aizen introduced, sitting down and picking up his desk. “Now, I have a few questions about Orihime-san along with the Kurosakis. I’ve learned some things that seem at odds with Renji-san's observations, so I just want to see what your observations are about her,” he said, getting a bright smile that seemed a bit dull or false. Aizen couldn’t decide which.
“That sounds fine to me,” Mizuiro returned. Shunsui hummed as he changed out the tape in the camera, putting it into a labeled case and then placing that into a bag behind the desk.
“Alright then. How did you meet Orihime-san?” Aizen asked once Shunsui had started the camera. Mizuiro rubbed at his chin before smiling at his memory.
“When I first met her, she was just some girl with a nice chest that hung out with, and on occasionally, Ichigo-chan,” he said, sitting back and crossing his legs. “Since she wasn’t an older female, I rarely paid any attention to her for a bit of time, at least until I got to know her. Then she was Orihime, who hung out with and on Ichigo-chan and had a nice chest.”
Aizen and Shunsui's eyebrows rose upwards at the fact that Mizuiro called Ichigo, Ichigo-chan, prompting Shunsui to ask, “Why do you call Ichigo-san, Ichigo-chan?”
“There’s actually a story to that. When he was found, he came to me first to get a ride to his godfathers place, still wearing a skirt with a small bag of stuff. Since I had a feeling that the shit would hit the fan, I told him that my part should be kept secret. He agreed and promised to never say anything about anything that happens between us. We’ve kept in contact since then and he’s kept his word about never saying anything until I wanted to,” Mizuiro stated, rubbing at his bottom lip. “My college life would have been made very difficult by Orihime is she knew about any of this.”
“How so?” Aizen asked, furiously writing information down.
“She did a round of pissing off Ichigo's last ex-boyfriend. She called him, e-mailed him, sent letters to him. If he ever kept the evidence, it would disappear before he could take it to the police,” he hummed, frowning unhappily at that. “She would have done the same to me or try to convince me to try to get him to change his mind about being gay and a cross dresser.”
“From what I understand, that’s changed in the last year or so,” Aizen mused, looking up with a curious expression.
“I wouldn’t know really, seeing as I’ve been studying and working most of the last 8 months. I started a series of accounting courses,” Mizuiro stated.
“Alright, let’s move on then. How did you meet Ichigo-san's family?” Aizen asked.
“I would often go over to Ichigo's house for nights over, weekend hangouts, lunches, dinners, birthdays, that sort of thing,” was the explanation as he hummed happily. “Actually that was how I found out he was a cross dresser, completely on accident mind you. I was staying the night before his 16th birthday and looking for a place to hide his present and kind of ran across a pair of his undergarments and a skirt,” he laughed, shrugging with a smile. “He admitted that he was gay, had had two boyfriends and cross dressed since age 14. I didn’t care and kept his secret because he asked.”
“Did you go to see the family after Ichigo-san left?” Shunsui asked, giving Aizen time to write down all of the information.
“Not really. I would buy sweets from Yuzu-chan on occasion when she started making a lot of them, and pre-made dinners to stock up on when I had to suddenly cram for tests and quizzes whenever she made too much,” Mizuiro said, shrugging.
“What about Kurosaki-san? Arisawa-san said that you were working with him for a while,” Aizen said, looking up from his notes.
“That was for a bit of extra money and for a project that I now have to get an extension on,” the young man said, running a hand through his hair, the locks falling back into place if not a bit more ruffled. “I was working as his accountant for the last five months and then I would create a report about the rise and fall of the monetary part of a small time clinic. Seeing as Ichigo now owns said clinic, he has to send out final bills, notices and referrals to new doctors.”
“Ah, so you rarely, if ever, saw the girls? But you saw Kurosaki-san quite often during your time working as a temporary accountant,” Aizen summed up.
“That’s correct. I also dealt with Orihime-san on occasion, whenever she tried to deny me access to a file so I could make sure that what I was billing someone was correct,” Mizuiro stated, smiling slightly as a flash of anger apparent in his eyes caught Shunsui and Aizens attention. “Otherwise, I tended not to bother with her at anytime, working up in the attic office or in their living room”
Aizen nodded and wrote a few more things down before asking Mizuiro a few more questions, leading him out after they were done and taking his and Shunsui's lunch from Szayel , who then disappeared into his lab once more. Closing the door and tossing his companion his sandwich, he found his way to his chair again.
“So, what are we going to do now? Outside of eat this food that is,” Shunsui asked, unwrapping his sub and looking at how it was built before biting into it.
“We’ll do the next two interviews with Sado-san and Keigo Asano, and then we’ll talk with the two groups about what was discovered about the Kurosakis and more then likely Orihime,” Aizen replied, opening his own sandwich. Checking to make sure that his sandwich was properly built, he bit into it and sat back as he chewed, Shunsui watching him in amusement.
“Why do I think that the problem with Orihime and the Bounts are getting closer and closer together?” Shunsui finally asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“Because it is, as much as neither of us wish to admit to it,” Aizen finally admitted, rubbing his own lips with one of his napkins.
