(Genryujin's POV)
"Retsu!" I exclaimed as I walked inside the room
I had just walked through a whole crowd of Squad 5 Shinigami which were held back by Isshin. I had told him to fuck off when he had asked me if I was still angry.
I walked into the room and saw Kyoraku and Retsu standing in front of Aizen who had his hands crossed.
"Gen." She said seriously as she looked back at me, "Stand down. It is not Aizen."
I frowned, "Huh?" I said, "What do you mea-"
"Enrakyoten." She cut me off
That's when it hit me. My conversation with Tokinada, something was off about that fucker when I talked to him outside of Central 46 and when I went to grab the Noble. Something was really off about him.
I glared at Aizen, "You sure about this?" I asked, "You're not pointing the finger at someone else, using him as a scapegoat, are you?"
Aizen sighed, "Genryujin, if what you say is true, you already executed the culprit." He said, "I suggest you calm yourself from here on out. Because any further and the balance you so meticulously created will be disrupted. Why would I be so reckless to poke the sleeping bear that is The Sword God?"
I narrowed my eyes at him as I took a step, "You..."
"Genryujin." Retsu said as she stepped before me, "He's right. My love, please. I understand your anger, I know it. But your vengeance has been enacted. If what Captain Aizen says is true, we will approach Tokinada cautiously. He's a High Noble. Going after one was bad enough, you cannot go after a second one with such blinding rage."
"I'll try my best to talk with the Old Man." Kyoraku said, "You purified us of Aizen's ability, we know he's not trying to trick us. And something tells me he is telling the truth about this. Genryujin, I hate to be that guy, but you have to sit this one out. I'll help you out."
"I'll turn the cheek." Aizen said, "A conflict with Genryujin of all people is the last thing we want. Especially with those two Monsters on his side."
"Hey..." I growled, "Watch yourself."
He chuckled, "It's a compliment to their prowess." He said, "Do not take it badly. I am sorry to hear of what happened, Genryujin-san. I will aid you in bringing the culprits to justice."
My eyes twitched, "I already killed one." I said, "But its you I want now."
"Didn't I already say I'm innocent?" He said with a smile
"Fuck off." I spat, "I'll have my eye on you, Aizen. If you slip up, I'll have your fucking head. As for Tokinada, you have 2 days, Kyoraku. Bring him to me, alive."
"Genryujin." Retsu said, "Look-"
"Enough." I said, "I'll wait for you at home, Wife. We have much to discuss."
I turned around and began to walk away.
"I'm glad you're understanding." Aizen said
I glanced back at him, "I'll cut your throat, make no mistake." I said, "You're just delaying the inevitable."
*************************************************
"Tokinada, huh...." Saito said as she sat in front of me
I nodded, "Yes." I said, "That's what Aizen says. But this is bullshit, someone with Kyoka Suigetsu's ability will definitely try to do anything to mess with us."
"I see...." She said with a grim face
Katori, who was sitting next to her, looked at me, "Gen-kun, you released Hinshin no Jotei, are we going to expect Grandfather to scold us?" she asked me, "Soi Fon is just softening up on us...."
I looked at Soi Fon, who was sitting next to me, "What're your thoughts on this?"
She had her eyes closed as she was listening to us, "I....." She said, "I haven't heard from the Captain Commander." She said, "I think he's going to overlook the release....which is confusing...."
"That's true." Katori said, "You got in trouble for releasing it in the Human World, but here? Nothing."
"It was the Purify command, my dear." I said as I crossed my arms, "Relax."
"Still, I don't want more stress on Saito..." Katori said
"Genryujin...." Saito said as she looked at me, "What are you going to do?"
"Wait, for now." I said with a scowl, "I hate doing this, but I wanted to cut Aizen's head off. However, Retsu and other Captains were there and i didn't want to involve them.....For now, I'll stay my blade."
"You had a scuffle with Kenpachi." Soi Fon said
"Huh?" Katori said, "That guy?"
"Don't worry." I said, "He held back, a lot. And so did I."
"Still." Soi Fon said as she opened her eyes and looked at me, "He's hungry now, more than ever. Expect more of his advances."
"I am not worried about him in the slightest." I said, "I am not worried about any of them. Aizen delayed his execution, that is all. If Tokinada is indeed involved, then I'll take his head too. I don't give a shit."
"I'll make them pay..."
