dark color

There was something warm covering his lips, but he only felt his heart sinking a little bit, falling straight into the dark and cold abyss.He struggled to keep his eyes open, looking into brown eyes hidden by glasses.

Even though they were so close, there was no feeling of intimacy, Soyousuke looked at him lightly, eyes full of cold mockery.The fingers on his chin hurt him, without a trace of warmth.

A faint fear surfaced in his heart, and he could not help but tighten his sleeves, "Soyousuke... Soyousuke!"

Shishiro Ukitake suddenly sat up from the bed, opened his eyes wide and shivered slightly in the darkness, "cough cough cough cough..."

"team leader?"

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

A caring voice came from outside the door, footsteps came from far to near, the door was pulled open, and then a person exclaimed, "Captain, you pulled the quilt away again!"

"Cough cough cough...I'm fine,"

Shishirou Ukitake looked at the two third seats who were more anxious than him with a wry smile, and said, "It's just a nightmare."

Pretending to raise his hand inadvertently, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the man lay down obediently under the urging eyes of the two and three seats, and smiled softly, "Go to sleep."

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going away, the white-haired man quietly turned over, but he could no longer fall asleep.This dream... Ever since Soyousuke disappeared... And, is it really just a dream?

A layer of haze gradually appeared in the gentle eyes, "Souyousuke..."

##############################################

The familiar spiritual pressure from not far away interrupted the silent staring between the two in the room.

"Tonight is really lively..."

Lan Ran lowered her eyes, took two steps forward and picked up the long knife.Ulquiorra's eyes paused slightly, and he looked at him suddenly, "Master Aizen."

"I accepted."

Aizen looked at him, his eyes softened slightly, "I have no reason to refuse a subordinate who remains loyal after waiting for hundreds of years."

Slightly flicking the knife in his hand, there was a strange change in the blade immediately, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from it, but it was fleeting.

"Use it well, Ur."

Saying so, Aizen opened the space casually, silently, "Then...you just need to wait."

"..."

The black-haired Pomian didn't speak, but just looked at him silently but stubbornly, unwaveringly.

Aizen smiled slightly, but the smile was no longer gentle, as if it had torn all the shackles covering it, full of shocking things, "Relax, it won't be long,"

He turned his head to look at the shadow that appeared outside the window, and muttered to himself, "It's the same for me and you..."

Ulquiorra's dark green eyes moved slightly, then he stood up and walked obediently into the black passage, "Yes, Aizen-sama."

###Kurosaki Ichigo woke up from his sleep in a daze, a black figure stood beside his bed, bent down to approach him, "Ichigo-kun?"

The faint moonlight shone on the man's face, which was a handsome and gentle face.And, very familiar.

"call……"

He sat up abruptly and took a deep breath, "It turned out to be you, you scared me to death!"

"Ichigo-kun, I may be away for a few days."

Aizen's face was somewhat apologetic, but more determined, "I..."

"and many more!"

Ichigo woke up fully, "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"

"I saw a man,"

Aizen said slowly, with gentle eyes but inexplicably irrefutable, "I think he has something to do with my past."

"what?"

Dazed for a second, the orange-haired boy almost jumped up from the bed, "Wait a minute! You are going to meet someone who doesn't know anything. What if he is a liar! It's too dangerous! Wait,"

He thought for a while, then quickly started looking for his coat, "I'll go with you!"

"Ichigo?"

Aizen's eyes were a little surprised, and the young man glanced at him impatiently, "What are you dawdling about, it's impossible to leave you alone, right?"

He opened the curtains as he walked, "Fortunately, you remember to tell me, otherwise you will disappear without a sound, and they will be worried."

Suddenly, his hands stopped, and his gaze stayed on the person outside the window...

"Black clothes..."

"Sure enough, you can see it too,"

The deep voice behind him startled him, and he reflexively said, "Aha, what..."

Aizen stopped him from closing the curtains, his usually gentle eyes were blurred in the darkness, "You can see that person..."

"you……"

Ichigo looked at him suspiciously.

Aizen's face was very close, and his skin was pale due to the moonlight, "That person is not human, is he?"

Ichigo suddenly couldn't find anything to say at this moment.There was a hint of sadness in Aizen's brown eyes, which made the boy suddenly lose all his voice.

The man took a step back and buried his face in the shadows, "That's right."

He sat there, covering half of his cheek with one hand, even at this time, Aizen's voice still had his unique gentle feeling. "Ichigo-kun, there is actually one thing that I have never told you. This afternoon, a man came to me, and he told me: I am not human at all, but a god of death."

"……grim Reaper?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then slowly repeated.

"Yeah, it's ridiculous. But after seeing this person today, I have to believe it."

His eyes stayed on the man in black who was walking slowly, "I remember him, both him and his clothes gave me a very familiar feeling, I... am not human at all. "

Ichigo's thinking was a little confused, but he knew that those were not the most important, and he grabbed Aizen's arm in his hand, "So what if you're human? In my eyes, in the eyes of Yuko and Xia Li, you It's human!"

He was articulate and resolute in every word.

"I don't know about death or something, it's just...just..."

"Thank you, Ichigo-kun."

The young man was a little dazed when he felt that someone was gently hugging him, and there was a warm voice with a smile in his ear, "That's the way, so I can't involve you in it."

Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to say something more, but felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, "Wait...wait..."

"It's too late, Ichigo-kun."

Gently putting the boy on the bed, Aizen murmured, feeling that the person outside the door calmed down after a moment of shock.With a wicked smile on his face with his back to the door, Aizen continued, "If possible, I also hope to be just an ordinary human..."

"These times, I am grateful to you for taking care of me."

"what,"

The sound of the doorknob twisting surprised Aizen, and he turned his head suddenly. Herosaki leaned lazily against the door, and the words just came out of his mouth, "Go."

He picked out Tao's ears, and the doubts in his eyes disappeared, "If you have nowhere to go back, it doesn't matter if you come here. You are all welcome by my little ghosts."

Gradually a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Aizen said, "Yes...I lied to you before, I'm really sorry."

"Well, you also said... I hope it's just an ordinary human being, right?"

Kurosaki waved his hand Yixin, turned around and went downstairs, "Come back early."

Aizen nodded silently, watching his back disappear, "This sentence...is sincere."

### There is no spiritual pressure, no witnesses or other evidence, just relying on a few words left by Urahara Kisuke, a fugitive from the soul world, the captain actually put down his official duties and came to the present world.Asai Renji took a cautious look at Kuchiki Byakuya, and the captain of the [-]th Division of the Soul Society had a serious expression on his face and didn't say a word.

He still remembers Captain Yamamoto's surprised expression when he applied for this task. In fact, he was quite puzzled in his heart. Who the hell is that person... Aizen Soyousuke?

"gone."

Byakuya Kuchiki said coldly, the disappointment in his cold eyes was fleeting.This area has been carefully searched, unless the person's spiritual pressure is completely lost, there will always be traces left.That person is not here...

The captain seemed to be in a bad mood, Renji responded, and was about to take out the Zanpakuto to open the passage back, but suddenly froze.

In the middle of such a night, it was so obvious who was coming towards them.

Doesn't look like a trace of spiritual power, ordinary human?No, how can ordinary humans see it? "Hey you……"

He was about to speak, but found that the usually calm captain actually activated Shunpo!

"Are you looking for someone?"

As if he was not surprised by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Lan Ran had a faint alienated smile on his face, seeing the other person's eyes as calm as a black lake trembled suddenly, and continued, "And...we used to , have you seen it?"

"Aizen... Soyousuke."

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at him and said word for word with complicated eyes.

"It seems that I have not misunderstood."

Aizen smiled, "A man named Kisuke Urahara told me that I am not human, and if I want to get back to the past, I have to go to a place called Soul World..."

The hand was grabbed suddenly, Aizen stopped explaining, looking at the man with a cold face, Kuchiki Byakuya interrupted him rudely, "You don't remember anything?"

Asai Renji stood at the side dumbfounded.

"As you can see."

Aizen wasn't panicked either, and even showed a polite smile.Kuchiki Byakuya didn't speak, just looked at him silently like this, but Aizen felt that the hand holding him was losing temperature little by little.

There is no Reiatsu, and there is no trace of existence, and what Kuchiki Byakuya holds in his hand is a phantom-like person.

Lowering his eyes, the man said coldly, "Come with me."

Signaling Renji to open the passage, Byakuya Kuchiki let go of his hands and walked in front, his cold and straight back was completely different from when he was young.Behind him, Aizen had a gentle expression, obediently walking one step away from A Sanjing Renji's curious peeping eyes.

"Kuchiki Byakuya."

"what?"

Aizen raised his head.

"my name."

The conversation was still brief, but Aizen slightly curled the corners of his lips. "It's strange to say that, but——long time no see, Kuchiki-kun."

The footsteps ahead paused slightly.

【You don't need to do this, Byakuya. 】【I just think that you don't seem to like the way people call you dead wood... can't you? 】【Bai Zai, just be Bai Zai. 】"……kindness."
