History:
The shinigami might have tried to be one step ahead of Sousuke, but even there they failed. Assumption was their enemy, and they once again just proved just how little they knew of Sousuke, how little they truly understood the real him.
The deaths had been their own fault. The price of their naivety. Had the old man actually thought that Sousuke would not have figured out what he would do? Underestimated again, but who was Sousuke to complain? The ascension of power had always been his goal, moving step by step up that unending ladder. Patience was on his side, had always been. Even the defeat of his Arrancar in the fake Karakura had not made him flinch.
His goals like always had been his own, his true motives hidden behind a veil of lies and deception. In the end, the King's Realm was his. A wasteland seemingly unfit for any, but that would not always be. Perhaps it would be hard for the shinigami to understand, for their views were so narrow of the world, but Sousuke did work on making the Realm a plush living place, worthy of his presence.
Knowing that the shinigami would never stop, but also knowing that they had a purpose in the 'food chain', Sousuke left them intact, under the supervision of Gin. His own Arrancar, while loyal (to a point) could not be counted on to do the delicate work that the shinigami did. Working, although the shinigami might not have been overly enthused about it, Sousuke set up various measures, including the journal network in order to monitor them.
With Tousen in Hueco Mundo, for whether or not the Arrancar respected him they did for the most part fear his power and Gin in Seireitei, Sousuke seemed to have dropped off the face of the world. No guarantee was given to the shinigami about their lives, for they did not deserve any such thing, especially from him. Rumours did start to surface, put out their on Sousuke's command. What better ways to divide the masses then create a bit of strife and turmoil?
Despite the fact that the shinigami never saw Sousuke in the two years that followed, it did not mean that he didn’t see them. He was no fool, realizing that the shinigami might one-day attempt to break free from his reign, and accordingly kept a close eye upon them. His main focus was set upon making his conquered realm a place of glory, and although for appearances sake he vanished from the public eye, he didn’t actually. Now as the King’s realm once more returns to glory, Sousuke is said to once more be seen outside of that realm and Hueco Mundo.
