For better or worse, I do not own Bleach.

Bleach: The Perfect Alibi

Ichigo Kurosaki just stared back in disbelief at the nameless Shinigami he had been questioning. Somehow or other, it appeared that the Substitute Soul Reaper had been sent back in time by several decades, right into the middle of the Gotei 13. Thanking the man for answering his questions, and humouring someone who was acting like a crazy person, Ichigo ran off to take care of something.

Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto glared down at the Vice-Captain of the Fifth Division, Gin Ichimaru. 'So you expect us to believe,' the old man ground out, his power and authority nearly tangible as it bore down on the fox faced young man, 'that Captain Aizen suddenly snapped and attacked this mysterious intruder who suddenly popped out of thin air? And in self-defense was forced to cut him down despite being apparently disorientated?'

'Yes, sir,' Ichimaru replied, his normal mocking tone given way to a more remorseful one. Or an at last an apparently remorseful one. But before Yamamoto could act on his suspicions, he was surprised when the Eighth Division's Captain, spoke up in the silvery haired man's defense. Surprised, because the older man was sure he had seen similar suspicion in Kyoraku's face.

'Oh come on, Old Man. Ichimaru has been Aizen's subordinate for nearly a century, there's no way he'd be lying about something like this! I say we let Unohana-san and Kurotsuchi give Aizen's body a look over. As for the kid, he seems like a pretty decent guy overall.' Noticing Soi Fon was about to speak up, the pink clad man held up a warding hand, 'According to the man's own vice-captain, it was self-defense. We can just keep an eye on him, and decide what to do later. No need to start an unnecessary fight with someone able to beat a captain.'

The meeting dragged on a while longer, but soon everyone came to agree. Leaving the room, Gin calmly walked away, but not before receiving a look from Captain Kyoraku that told him the man wanted to talk later.

Unconcerned, Gin continued on to the Tenth Division to see some people, fighting the urge to whistle a happy tune.

This just popped into my head after reading a Bleach fic that had Gin reflecting on what he wanted to do to Aizen once he had a moment to strike and kill him.
