How long had it been since then? Since he had that dream of joining the Gotei 13? Aizen had lost track of the years, but the dream had never faded from his mind, or his heart. Even when he was forced to drop out of the academy, the dream still remained strong with him. And now, now he had finally been accepted into their ranks, into the Gotei 13. Though it was true, he was squadless at the moment, Aizen knew that would come to change in time, as all things did. "Hey, stop daydreaming and watch where you're going!" his escort told him. "Y-yes, sir!" he replied before tripping over himself. He groaned a little as he stood, his escort shaking his head, "How they let you in, I'll never know." he said before turning to continue on his way. Aizen dropped his head, the guy was right, how come he was accepted? Had to be a reason beyond how he got his Zanpakutos, right? "Hey kid, we're here. Once you pass through the gate, you'll be where you belong. My suggestion, find yourself a squad you'll fit in with, and fast. Sure you wouldn't want people to find out you don't really belong here, do you?" he asked, walking away. Aizen frowned, no, he didn't want people to find out the truth about how he got in. Heading through the gate, he began to go over his choices, immediately dismissing Squad 11. It wasn't that he disliked the squad, it was more their way of acquiring a Captain that didn't sit well with him, fighting to the death wasn't exactly his style. [i]Yeah, better to avoid going that route...[/i] he thought to himself, trudging along. By this point, he had no idea he had become lost within the maze of walls, finally coming to a stop suddenly. "Umm, and when did I walk in here? Better yet, where's the exit?" he asked himself. He sighed, yep, he was useless alright.
