Omake 1

"The Talk Show"

A medium-sized room was illuminated by the dim lights. The room was surrounded by black and dark-red curtains and had a low platform which took about half of the room. On it were two black couches and a wooden table between them. The place was slightly decorated to look like some living room or something. The other part of the room was furniture by chair – in total it was 225 chairs, all black and lined up into 6 rows – all of them were empty.
Then came out a loud noise, like hundreds of people clapping their hands and a single person came out of the curtains.

The first noticeable thing about the man was the fact that he was pretty tall, about 190 cm in height. This man had dark-blond hair, his hairstyle was nothing extreme – just the fact that his hair was brushed backwards, opening his forehead. His hair reached down to his ears – no more. The man looked rather young – about 20 years of age, but a small stubble made him look a bit older than he was. The guy was wearing a pair of dark-blue jeans, a white t-shirt and gray sneakers; in his hands he held a small notepad and a pen. The weird thing was his eyes – they seemed to be somewhat undefined in color, since usually those who knew him would say he had different eye color – that was explained by the fact that his eyes matched the things he wore, which was a bit creepy.

The man smiled and stopped before one of the couches – the left one and bowed slightly, then spoke.

Guy: "Hey there everybody. I'm pleased to meet you, hey! Hey there!" – he smiled a bit more and pointed at one of the empty chairs, the noises of applause and a cheering crowd grew louder and more intense, as if there were people sitting in the chairs. – "Welcome to the "Escape SS Talk Show" and I'm your favorite host – Grimankin." – the sounds of the crowd going wild doubled as he winked at the empty audience. – "I'm happy to see ya'll here and really glad to be here today, since this is the first time meeting face to face, huh? But let's not make this too long an introduction and get this party started!"

Grimankin slumped down on the left couch and threw both the notepad and the pen on the table. His gaze quickly turned back to the audience and fixed itself upon them, the sounds died and all went silent.

Author: "Today is a special event. I, as an author of this story will be having a few guests come in and talk about themselves. Then after the fun part is done the guest will ask me their special questions and I will try to answer them to my best ability! I am not going to spoiler much though, so let's start! The first guest is…." – the young man suddenly made a flashy move and pointed at the curtain behind the right couch. – "Souske Aizen!"

The crowd exploded with cheers and whistling and clapping, while the seats remained empty.
A man walked in, pushing the curtain aside with one of his hands. It was indeed Aizen Souske and he wore his usual arrancar uniform, instead of any other kind of clothing. The man smirked, waving at the audience and sat down on the right couch.

Author: "Good evening, Souske-san. It's really nice to see you, and I have to say it's awesome to be talking to you here on this show!" – Grimankin voiced his opinion and greetings, smiling at the man opposite him.

Aizen: "Good evening to you as well, and I'm happy to be here too, especially since it's a chance to show a bit of myself other than on stage." – the man showed a relaxed smile. – "And would you like a cup of tea? I brought some of my own, homemade recipe that one."

The blond man nodded and tea was brought in – two cups, for both men. They took their time to make a sip and continued on.

Author: "Awesome tea, and I expected no less. Anyway – the first thing I want to talk about is your role in the story of this fic, which is centered on you, mostly. How do you feel about that?"

Aizen: "Well – I really do enjoy playing a part in this fiction and it's only natural that I like it. Usually all the things involving me are either some sort of crack-comedy or yaoi. Other, more presentable fics are just some sort of fan service or me romancing OC's, which turn out to be Mary Suish. I mean, come on – I can't control and fool a 16-17 year old girl. For crying out loud – I am a Shinigami genius mastermind who plans things 100 years ahead and my power is absolute… almost. I fool and use everyone around me, yet I can't figure out some little human/shinigami/arrancar girl, who has the guts not to faint in my presence and the presence of my Espada." – the man sighed deeply and put his hand on his forehead, continuing. – "… and that's why out of all the things I could do I start romancing the poor girl with powers to change the her surroundings or something that destroys everything in sight, because I have no other option. Right. So – all I do is act hawt and shoot beams of sexiness around."

Author: "Wow… that sounds… nasty. That's not like you at all Souske-san, and I see how you feel. Was there anything horrible in particular you wanna talk about?"

Aizen: "Yes. You should have seen the moments when the girl in question had to see me when I was walking out of the shower or some such, half-dressed and wet. I would NEVER do such a thing. It would be easier to just manipulate her otherwise or kill her outright. Imprison her or pawn her off to Szayel for that matter. The man's a genius scientist after all. Hell – I could throw the girl at Ulquiorra – he's all the rage with girls, as well as Grimmjow, but he lacks manners." - both men laughed a bit, but then Aizen shuddered and spoke again. – "Worst thing was when I suddenly have a child. It doesn't matter who's the partner… a girl, a boy or Ichigo, which is the grossest thing imaginable and impossible at that. I mean – is it really me? No – it is a horrible, nightmarish variation of what can be done with my defenseless persona. Worst of all – when all these horrible things happen I seem to ENJOY that. Just imagine yourself going through all that!"

Author: "Heh, I see. That's horrible indeed, and… I do really feel sorry for you here. Anyways – on to the next question: do you enjoy playing a villain and what's it like?"

Aizen(laughing warmly): "Of course – I love my job and I'm good at it too. Although I do play a calm, perceptive kind of villain and that kinda bounds me to a specific type of villainous attitude. I mean – if I suddenly burst out laughing like a maniac it'll be weird and awkward. Although I do these things from time to time when I'm on the movie set. The other day I didn't hold it in and went batshit insane laughter when I was telling Toshiro about the Saketsu bomb. We had to cut out that take, but Toshiro and I had some fun and all."

Author: "I see. By the way – how are getting along with Hitsugaya-kun? I mean – he is the character that hates you the most."

Aizen: "Oh – actually we're great friends. Yeah – our characters don't get along on stage but outside were okay. In fact we kinda bonded a bit more during this fic, since we have a lot of scenes together. He is really grumpy and serious on stage, but he's actually very funny when it comes to us practicing! He can just ruin the cut by making some weird funny face at the camera, oh and he also tends to tell jokes when he forgets his lines… usually naughty ones too. So yeah – we get along."

Author: "Awesome. Say… could you do me a favor and laugh a bit? Ya know – like an evil overlord or something?"

Aizen(clearing his throat): "Khm, sure! Mwahahahaha – MWAHAHA – MUUWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" – the brown-haired man raised his head, going at it.

Author: "Holy shit! I think I felt shivers go down my spine!" – Grimankin laughed. – "That was awesome! But we have to close up soon enough. And I'm sure you got some evil planning to do, so let's hear the special question you have for me today!"

Aizen: "Sure. Here goes: What is your favourite Bleach pairing that you will introduce in this fic?"

Author: "Haha, that's a tricky one. See the GrimmjowxLilynette were not the first pairing in this fic. In fact the first pairing were IchigoxOrihime, and while I don't like both the characters – they suit each other perfectly. But I digress… hmm… my favourite pairing is perhaps UlquiorraxSun-sun. And it's a possibility I'll do that later on."

The two rose up and shook each other's hands. Then Aizen left, taking his tea cup with him. Grimankin quikcly finished his own tea.

Author: "The next guest is… Coyote Starrk!"

A tall brown-haired man entered the stage from behind the curtain. He was dressed in casual clothes – a pair of black jeans and a yellow t-shirt with a big number "1" on the chest area. The man smiled and sat down on the couch, taking up a comfy position.

Author: "Welcome, Starrk-san!"

Starrk: "Sup dude."

Author: "So – let's not beat around the bush! As most people know by now – you aren't starring in the Escape SS fic and your character is dead. How do you feel about that?"

Starrk: "Well – it'd be a pain in the ass to be in there. I'd have to wake up early in the mornings, drive all the way to the movie set on my Mustang and act seriously. It's too much of a bother, really."

Author: "Hohoh, so I see you're very close in-life to your role. I suspected as much."

Starrk(smiling): "Yeah. But to be perfectly honest I don't really care about this. I mean as it happens after I died all my reitasu and life force, as well as my personality and soul, so to speak went into Lilynette. I'm just happy that I could do something for her… I always tried to look after Lily and I'm really glad I could help her. Should she need support…" – the man pointed at his chest. – "… I'm always there for her, inside her heart and soul."

Grimankin could no longer contain himself and jumped at Starrk, two waterfalls of tear streaming out of his eyes.

Author: "Staaaaaark-saaaaan! You're soooo cool! I'm so touched! UWAAAAAAAH!" – the young man practically latched himself onto the older man's leg. Coyote was trying to push him off.

Starrk: "Cool – you can get off me now! Please, get off? Oi, somebody help me out here!"

The other staff of the show had to forcefully drag Grimankin away; the man still sobbing and sniffing. Finally he was back on the couch.

Author: "I'm sorry, I just… I tend to cry at these moments, sorry. Anyways… I'm ready for your question!"

Starrk: "So, do you, like, hate Toshiro or something? I mean – you put the guy through so much trouble in the fic and he always seems to get the short end of the bargain, so to speak. He gets pwnd a lot. Isn't that unfair?"

Author: "Well… it's not a complicated question so let me answer that to the best of my ability. For one – Aizen Souske is the main character of this fic, he is the protagonist and hence it's a story about him. We can't get him killed off/imprisoned right away after the start, right? Also – think about it. Aizen was powerful enough to kick some Captain, Vice-Captain and Vizard ass while using Kyouka Suigetsu just a bit. He has skills and reiatsu enough to take on anyone and take 'em down. Toshiro was no exception, since he was sliced in half in the manga. Now – Toshiro here is the 2nd main hero, but let's face it – the way he is now he can't take on Aizen, nor Ulquiorra for example. Hence this is why he gets beaten around so much – it's only natural. This story is serious – there's not gonna be super-saiyan powerups or fast-paced improvements that are gonna save the boy's ass when he's in trouble. So no – I don't hate him or love him much, I just get on with the story."

Starrk nodded, satisfied with the answer and the two shook hands.

Author: "Now the final two guests are going to beeee… Toshiro Hitsugaya and Gin Ichimaru!"

The two men walked in, showing a great contrast – one short, one tall. Both were dressed in casual clothing as well. Seemed like Aizen was the only one in his stage costume and perhaps he had just been off the set? Who knew…
The two sat down. It was noticeable that Gin was without his trademark wide grin and was smiling just ever so slightly.

Author: "Hey guys – nice to see you two here!"

Gin&Toshiro: "Hey Grim."

Author: "Heh, so let's proceed, shall we? Is there anything you want to share with the viewers today?"

Gin: "Hmm, I think I would like to confess… it's hard to smile the way I always do." – the man shrugged. – "I mean think of the facial muscles strain this puts me through! I have to get people to massage my face half the day, since it's hard for me to stop grinning when I do it for too long."

Toshiro: "Yeah-seriously. I once had to do it myself. There was no one around, so I used by index fingers to pull the corners of his lips down, hahaha – you shoulda seen it. It was priceless." – the boy laughed while Gin side glanced at him.

Gin: "Yep. He almost broke his fingers too. But aside from that I find my role quite satisfying. And to be honest I'm glad to keep starring here. I was really shocked and happy when I found out that so many people were upset over me dying in the manga, I mean – I wasn't that major of a character and I really felt proud that people found me interesting."

Toshiro(nodding): "Yeah. He did make it into the top 5 on the 2nd and 3rd popularity polls of the manga and his zanpakuto came in 8th. Our fight also came in 6th in the fight poll."

Author: "Sweet. I like ya too Gin-san. Anywho – the questions?"

Gin: "I noticed that there were a lot of Aizen's POV in the first few chapters. You had his thoughts written out in italics and all. Later on it disappeared and was used rarely. Why, and what are you gonna do about it?"

Author: "Right. It's true – in the beginning I used to show only Aizen's POV and wrote out his thoughts, but as more characters appeared I had forgotten all about it. It's a cool feature, I think and I'll make sure to return that in the upcoming chapters! I promise ya!"

Toshiro: "Okay. And my question is… am I gonna get a pairing too? I mean… am I going to fall in love or will it be something else, if it's gonna happen and who's it going to be?"

Author: "Hohoh, sorry Toshiro-kun but I can't tell you much. Although I'll tell you this – yes you are going to have someone as a partner. I'll also say that it's going to be love, I think, and not just carnal desire. As to who… I am afraid I cannot tell you, but don't worry – it's not gonna Loly, haha! You personalities are too incompatible. Get the hint?" – the man winked and Toshiro.

Gin: "Shiro's gonna get a girlfriend~!"

Toshiro: "S-shut up!" – he elbowed Gin and the latter laughed.

Then everyone got up again, exchanging handshakes after which the guests left. Grimankin turned back to his unexisting audience and bowed.

Author: "This will be all for today, thanks for attending and have a good day!"

Then a loud noise could be heard, something crashed and a tall, muscle-man walked in. His body scared and his look deadly.

THE Man: "I heard you're strong Grimankin! Let's have a fight! I am Kenpachi Zaraki - HERE I COME!" – the man ripped off a black eye-patch from his eye. A vast and tall pillar of yellow energy erupted, blowing up the whole TV Show set to smithereens.

Minutes later a single small silhouette could be seen running towards the horizon, its arms flailing and a high-pitched shriek coming from him. The 1st silhouette was pursued by a much bigger and broader one, which was screaming something about fighting and fun, as well as cowards and trash. The sun was setting.
