A/N: I wasn't really planning on updating for awhile (note: because I was feeling lazy) but since it is the Holidays, it wouldn't hurt to spend an all-nighter on one. Well, actually I would've loved to say I spent all night on it, but I got a few hours at most. I hope it's a calm and relaxing day for everyone, unless you have kids in which then, good luck. Also, MomOfFluffAndFluffier, those ideas from your last review just about gave me a nosebleed- I will definitely have to look into an extra story or two on the side. Also, I would have liked to have had this chapter up earlier, but my internet decided to kick me off all last night- which was probably a good thing actually.
From the packing and moving boxes to the overall move itself, and then unpacking, the day had proven to be a bit strenuous and she couldn't wait for it to be over. Even despite her own exhaustion, she figured she still wouldn't be able to sleep that night so she might as well have something laid out to do in the brightest hours of the morning. The best she could come up with was finish unpacking whatever had yet to be pulled out and set up a few more rooms. From what she could take from the blueprints of the building, the three rooms the other female Lieutenants were in kind of connected into a larger recreational room that they could all hang out in. At least it gave them a chance to interact together instead of having to be cooped up in a room all day. She was going to see if she could convince Officer Akon to let her take the girls out for a walk or something outside, just to enjoy the fresh mountain air; she didn't think he would but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try. Maybe if she got Captain Unohana's approval as well that might help to sway him a bit.
Nothing wrong with being a little hopeful, right?

"Lieutenant Isane."
She turned at the call and smiled briefly at the white-haired man who steadily made his way closer to her. "Lieutenant Chojiro, I see you managed to get out of Hinamori's grasp for the time being. How is she? Is she feeling a little better?"
He nodded and waited until the space between them was brought to a more appropriate close. "Lieutenant Hinamori is feeling better, her stomach still ills her a bit but she's faring better than she was this morning to say the least. I was helping her to adjust her room before the Espada showed up to take over."
"Oh... well no hard feelings about that... he just gets a little overprotective with all of them; well, Captain Unohana said it's technically him just utilizing and tapping into his animalistic habits, but I guess it'd have to just be your personal definition on the matter." Isane started. "Either way, it's like a subconscious choice."
An almost nervous chuckle escaped him at her words. "I can certainly see the over-protectiveness in the matter. I was warned about it beforehand but I didn't necessarily prepare myself to be threatened just because of my presence."
She frowned slightly at his words and noticed that he still seemed to be trying to recover from whatever had happened beforehand. "He... threatened you? What did he say?"
"Well I suppose it would all depend on how well I perceive our partnership, how well I'd like to stay on his good side for this experiment." he answered. "Because he advised that I should limit my time with her... but more forcefully noted that he didn't want to see me around her again."
"What? Why would he... does he even have that kind of right?"
A somewhat tired sigh escaped from his lips as he could only offer her a light shake of the head. "To be honest, it's not so much a position of power or having the right to make such decision; it seems more like a test. He's giving me the option to choose what I want to do and deal with the consequences... it's almost like he knows what kind of choice I would make on the matter. I mean, I don't want to infringe on his place in this experiment and it didn't seem like he had the appropriate amount of time to spend with them from the beginning-"
"So you're going to follow what he said?" Isane questioned as he moved to cross her arms over her chest. She supposed it was in his character to want complete... hold over the women, wanting them to have little contact with other males- something she still wasn't entirely sure of why, even though Captain Unohana seemed to hold a strong grasp on the concept. Normally, he just ignored everyone else and went on about his way, making sure to show subtle hints about his dislike for their presence. But... rarely did he go out of his way to make such a remark; he wasn't necessarily one for making threats. Or at least, not from what she had heard from.
"In all honesty, Isane, I'm not sure." Chojiro spoke. "It's difficult to try and depict his overall character when he seems more interested in those around him; at first, it seems odd that he would even want to converse with our type of people, and then you realize that you're playing right into his game."
"That's frightening."
"In a sense, it is." he agreed. "Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have to report back to Captain Unohana for a moment; I'll be back soon enough."
"When do you have to report back to Captain Yamamoto?" Isane questioned.
"He said to return whenever I wish but I plan on returning to the First Division by nightfall." he answered. "Hopefully I'll have a full report by then, but if not... then I'll have to let him know of the information I already have."
She nodded and listened as he bid his farewell before he continued on past her and headed on his way out; leaving her to question the Espada's intentions. While she would have preferred to not spend her sanity on the matter... it did leave her with an odd feeling. Lieutenant Chojiro was probably one of the least threatening people she knew of and he had such a Gentleman-like stature, it was hard to see him being intimidating. Maybe that was just to her though... the Espada had only met him this morning and still had yet to spend the correct amount of time in getting to know him. Ugh, well maybe now she had something to keep her busy during her insomnia hours that were bound to come up soon enough.
Now, let's see... what else was there for her to do? She was just kind of taking her time in taking her own little break... She supposed it wouldn't hurt if she did another set of rounds to make sure everyone was properly settled in, or maybe check in and see if Captain Unohana needed any help, or... see how Nemu was doing, anything really.
Instead, she just walked over to where a free chair was sitting in a seemingly empty room and threw herself into it. One hand rubbing at the back of her neck to try and ease the tension in her muscles. Okay, so maybe another ten minutes wouldn't hurt.
"Isane."
Great, who else wanted her attention? Rubbing briefly at the center of her eyes, she gave it a moment before she looked up to see who had called at her. The sight of the pink-haired man walking towards her only seemed to hint at a well timed conversation beforehand. "Oh uh... Szayel, what can I help you with?"
"I don't mean to interrupt you with whatever you're doing now, not that I really know whatever it is, but I wanted to know if you knew where I might find Captain Shunsui." he posed; pausing just a few feet from her.
"Captain Shunsui? Um... the last I saw of him, he was working his way to Nanao's room; no actually, he was running down the corridors with her an hour or so ago too." she started. "I don't know where he went after that, Captain Unohana might be a more reliable source for an answer. Or Captain Ukitake as well, although it's not really hard to miss Captain Shunsui, just look for an interestingly dressed man."
That wasn't necessarily the answer he was looking for but it was a starting point. He had already checked Nanao's room, only to find it empty- right when he needed to speak with her, of course. "Alright, well thank you... I'll see if I can't find some kind of answer on this expedition." he remarked.
She watched as he started to leave and found her own curiosity growing too strong to withhold. "Uh... actually, can I ask you something?"
He paused slightly at her question and turned to give his attention to her. "Well, I won't turn away the peak of curiosity, what is it that you want to question?"
Okay, maybe this was a bad idea, but she wasn't just going to give it up now. "I was speaking with Lieutenant Chojiro a moment ago and he was telling me about your little run in with each other earlier. It's probably not my place to say anything, but... you told him that you didn't want to see him around Hinamori anymore-" she only stopped at the sound of his brief chuckle in answer. "Okay, so tell me what that was all about since it seems to be a joke to you?"
"Joke? No, Lieutenant Isane, it is an experiment. This shouldn't be surprising to you." he replied.
"Experiment?"
"I've been running it for some time now, practically from the beginning of where this whole experiment split into complications but... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give you a basic look at it. You're the first to actually question me, so you deserve a reasonable answer." he started as he walked back to her. "Despite everyone else's claims, I still maintain my original hypothesis that only Lieutenant Kurotsuchi is carrying our offspring. The other women happened to stumble across the same fate surprisingly enough around the same time, much like your sister, Officer Kiyone-"
"How can you prove it though?"
"It's still a work in progress but I've managed to make grounds on it during this time, the most of it being from this morning." he explained. "But here, let me ask you something instead, let's say you decided to, or were forced to become involved in this experiment; an experiment that would have you completely vulnerable to being ravaged by a stranger. So, for some reasons unknown, you get involved and proceed to go through with the trials- where the only successful ending result would be for you to carry this stranger's offspring. And if it wasn't successful the first time, then you had to go through several more intimate trials until you fell pregnant. You were only given the option to go home once the whole ordeal was done and you were left feeling weak, open and... possibly disgusted by your own acts. What would you do?"
She frowned briefly at the question and found herself having a hard time trying to get an answer for it; then again, the difficulty could have had something to do with how he moved his hands to rest against the arms of the chair she was seated in, partly blocking her in. "Uh... hypothetically, I would want to go somewhere that would get rid of those feelings; I'd want to go somewhere to make myself feel better."
"Would it be somewhere or someone?"
Another question to stumble on. She bit lightly into her lower lip and tried not to become all too focused on those Amber eyes above her. "... Both."
"Alright, so let's also say that there's a place and a person that will help to cure your upset feelings, and they happen to be in the same area, so it's a two for one for you." he continued, lightly illustrating a path out for her. "So, you're in this place with a specific person who will make you feel better; hypothetically, let's say this person is somewhat of a significant other to you. And, in this moment together, you realize that in all technicality, you've ultimately betrayed his trust, even though he assures you that it was for the 'greater good' of the Society. You still continue to blame yourself for your actions and you can't seem to get the feel of a stranger's touch off your skin... would you let yourself fall to this significant other as well? As a sign of reconnecting yourself with him instead and in hopes to get the feel of foreign fingers off your skin."
"... Uh... Yeah."
He leaned down towards her for a brief moment; closing the space between them. "So you've already crossed the experiment with that; you've mixed the results and added in another tester. But you don't say anything about it, you keep quiet until you're called back in to the labs to complete the next portion of the experiment. The one night of mixed emotions, vulnerability and possible shame was something you just wanted to keep to yourself and... it wasn't a question on the questionnaire, so you didn't say anything. When the results came back positive, it was another moment to hold your tongue and you submitted to the charges with ease; possibly because it was simply easiest to explain and you wouldn't face dire consequences for messing with the experiment. Do you see where I'm going with this, Lieutenant?"
Okay... so it would explain why suddenly everyone around was getting knocked up and pregnant; it wasn't just something in the water, so that was one less thing she had to worry about. But his overall hypothesis was that... technically, all of the women involved reported back to their Division Houses after the sex trial and... then spent the remainder of the evenings with someone else- a male cast member preferably. Well, it wasn't something she could accept or deny, it seemed reasonable enough. "How does that answer my question though?"

"Well, I have my suspicious about his character and the way he and Hinamori interact around one another; there was something in their behavior that tipped me off. So, like myself, I started another experiment, I suppose this one is more of a social one instead." he remarked. "You see, he's been through the details of the matter, he was given the proper warnings about my behavior, so I took that into account. When I confronted him, I gave off the impression of the dominant male and gave him one option that he would have to make the choice on; I gave him the option to either heed my words or ignore them. Because, you see, if he's as committed as he seems, given certain coincidences and timing, he's thinking the same thing; there's a large possibility the child is his just the same, and he just wants to confirm whether it's right or wrong. Now, if he isn't strongly attached to that, then he'll listen and keep his distance; but if he has the dedication that is necessary, then he'll go behind my back and visit her."
"So you were just toying with him." Isane commented.
"It's all an experiment, I assure you; there will be no physical damages by the end of it."
It was a sudden... onslaught of information raining down on her and seeing the fragility of it, she couldn't necessarily discuss it with anyone else. So it was like a secret to herself... great, just what she needed; first, it was a tight eye on the women and on the experiment, now it was tight lips to keep this under the covers. Although she had a feeling there was a reason he told her, other than the fact that she just happened to be the first to ask. Wouldn't he had shared this kind of information with Nemu though? It would seem likely with how their 'relationship' worked, but the woman would have made a note about it or something when they were together... Ugh, it was all getting complicated and that was the last thing she needed.
"And just what the hell is going on here?!"
