"Report," Aizen ordered.
"Nnoitra and Szayel are completely under her power," Gin reported, smiling. "Halibel and her Fraccion have joined her as charter members of the Arrancar Women's Association. Grimmjow has barricaded himself in his room and is refusing to leave. Barragan and Yammy have been brainwashed and are skipping through the fields of daisies. Aaroniero and Zommari haven't been seen in a week."
"Starrk?"
"Sleeping," Gin replied.
"And Tousen?" Aizen asked.
Gin shrugged. "Last I saw, he was renouncing violence and had decided to take up a musical instrument. I believe it is called a 'ukelele.'"
"...I see," Aizen said, though he did nothing of the sort.
"Is that all?" Gin asked, bouncing on the soles of his feet. "'Cause me and Hime-chan were going to have a tea party before you interrupted us."
Aizen had the sudden, sinking feeling that his life was completely out of his control. It was not a comfortable feeling.
"Dismissed," he said resignedly, and watched Gin skip off.
The distant sounds of an off-key voice singing "Kumbaya" to the accompaniment of an equally off-key ukelele drifted through the open window.
