Yumiko didn't react this time, though she felt her cheeks warm. "Thank you for coming, Kyoraku-san, and..." she paused, then folded her hands over the books in her lap, "for the books you found. I will use them well," she stated, finishing her proper farewell.

Shunsui nodded and set his hand on her forehead. "I'm sure you will," he replied. It was his little secret that she didn't know that each book was hand-crafted for her by him, an idea which had started with Yama-jii. He turned around, following the attendant out to the hall.

Juushiro waited until the door had closed, knowing that Yumiko would be following the sounds of their departure as long as she could. Then, he poured the tea and set a cup in her folded hands. "Let's enjoy lunch," he said lightly, smiling, "and then go over your Kido as long as you are able."

Yumiko nodded. "I will be fine," she responded, tone even. With that phrase, she knew her teacher would be altering the bindings on her cuffs today, but that did not mean she would let it tire her out. He wouldn't let her teacher waste his time.

. . . . . .
Juushiro finished his tea and set the tray aside, knowing the attendant would get it, and looked down, Yumiko passed out on his lap. He stroked her hair from forehead then narrowed his eyes. She had fallen asleep before he had finished the final two seals on her now glowing cuffs. Even if he wove his Kido in with her lessons, it happened every time. He sighed. He'd stay here a little longer. "I am sorry, Yumi." “Setting the Stage”:~ END OF RP ~

"Family Planning in the Shadows"(continued):The Senkaimon opened and the two stepped out into division one. Both their reiatsu concealed. "Lead the way, my dear. You know where this room this better than I." Azayaka bowed her head slightly and led her father to the sealed room of the young girl Yumiko Ryouma.

Just as always, Azayaka did as her father asked of her, no questions asked. She followed the path she had memorized months before. The path was a maze of twists and turns, deeper and deeper into the barracks. For a millisecond, she thought maybe she had taken a wrong turn. However before she could dwell on it, she turned and there was the door.
"Here we are, Father. The Room of Sealing. Where Yumiko Ryouma is being held."

Aizen turned from the door and studied the wall before he made any moves. He knew one wrong move would set the barrier so no one but the one that placed the seal could enter. A smirk crossed his lips as he ran his finger down the crack of the first trick wall. The door slid open.
He turned to his daughter and stepped in the corridor.

Azayaka walked in slightly, looking at her surroundings. As she did, she just barely spotted a nearly invisible rope, hanging down from the ceiling. She pulled on it and the next section of wall lifted up with the sound of stone rubbing on stone.

Walking a few more paces Aizen turned into the disguised open hallway and walked a little further. Seeing the next switch to release the next opening, Aizen reached into a mirror pulling a key from it. He chuckled softly shaking his head.
"They must have thought this would be hard to figure out. Textbook seals is all I see."
He looked to the near-transparent form, and dropped the key letting it fall into the lock on the floor. He waited for the lock to dissolve the wall in front of them as the key melted away and the doorway was clear. Layers of Kido wrapped this final hallway. Line upon line of silken strands, webs of spells wrapped and warped again in the surroundings.
They entered and walked toward the next wall running his hand down the nearest wall. The Kido spells flashed at him, the double doors sealing them out of her world.
He looked to his daughter and nodded as she stepped up next to him. Together, they spoke they series of Kido seals woven into the entrance. This pushed the doors open after a faint blue light surrounded the outlines.
They were in--
Aizen stepped in the room seeing the young girl sitting in her prison reading. Sealing cuffs embraced her wrist.
"Yumiko Ryouma." Aizen spoke to her in a smooth silky voice as he walked toward her.

Yumiko raised her head. "Who's there?" She reached for Mizue and peered through the ripples that pierced the darkness of her surroundings. "I don't recognize you. Is Ukitake-san still at the door?" A moment later, she shook her head. "No, there were no flowers today. ...."
Something was different. She could sense it, but she didn't know what it was. There were two figures in her room, one male and one female. Both were strangers and powerful. Were they from Central? But without either of her mentors there, she worried about their objective. Were her seals no longer enough?
"May I ask why you are here?" she asked, placing her hands together and composing herself.

When the girl's head whipped around to look at them, Azayaka stared her down with a sharp eyed glare. "Do not resist. You will come with us whether you want to or not. Fighting us will only end badly for you."

Aizen raised his hand to his daughter to quiet her. "I am here to free you from your bonds Yumiko. The ones that have held you prisoner for so many years. Free of the sealing. Your sight will return and you will be free to walk out of this room into the world that you were so rudely stripped away from."
He walked over to her and kneeled down before her on one knee holding her wrists with his hands. "Would you like that, my dear?"

Yumiko couldn't stop her hands from shaking and her heart from pounding, not for a good few minutes. Taking a breath, she steadied her hands. "It's all I've ever wanted, but..." she paused and lowered her head, "why isn't Ukitake-san or Kyoraku-san here? They said there might be consequences to finally releasing me. After all this time...."
Then she recalled the other voice, the harsh one. She frowned and withdrew one of her hands from the man in front of her. She couldn't completely withdraw from him though, drawn to the hope he offered in spite of it all. "Something really is wrong... they would be here, they promised, and in the beginning, I had to be here. It was for my own safety. Who are you?" she repeated a bit more firmly than before.

Aizen sighed softly, "If you want me to go I will. I am only here to grant you what you have always wanted. Kyoraku and Ukitake know as well as you and I that Central will never release you. They are scared of you, and when Central is scared they will do everything in their power to destroy or seal away what it is that frightens them."
He stood from the young girl letting her other hand slide from his as looked down at her. "But if here is where you wish to stay, until the Captain's empty words finally become fulfilled. So be it. I won't stand in your way."
Aizen turned from her and started to walk away. "Tomorrow was to be a beautiful day for you. I am sorry you will have to miss it."
