"Over the Line":Kenji shuffled to his father's lab, his head lowered and his face bearing the most pitiful of faces. He had confronted Aizen. Told Gin. And, now...He had to deal with his father. The scent of flowers and perfumes filled his nose as he lingered by the doorway. He blinked, trying to rid himself of the sleep that was rushing over him.
"Dad," he whispered to himself. "I met..." Kenji looked over his shoulder, peeking into the lab at his masked father. He stepped into the lab, knocking on the door frame. "Hey Dad. Smells like Vale's garden in here."

Kisuke watched as his son fall to the floor out cold. He shook his head and grabbed up the small clear bottle sitting on the counter along with a mask. He walked over closing the lab door then he lifted his son from the floor and sat him in a chair. Placing the mask over his nose and mouth he slid the antidote under the mask in a few minutes Kenji's eyes opened. He reached for the mask as Kisuke grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Some of the scent's in this room right now can kill you. Leave it on while your in here with me." He stood, still looking at his son. "You alright?"

Kenji looked at the clear bottles and tubes filled with various colored liquids. "What are you doing in here? If you wanted Mom to smell good, you could just buy her something. And, it wouldn't kill her." He raised his hand and poked at the mask. "Dad." he looked at his father. "I think Gin went after Aizen..." He waited for his father to respond.
"And, he went after Aizen..." Kenji took a deep breath, then spoke quickly. "After I told him that I talked to Aizen in the park!" His last sentence ran together as if it were one word.

Kisuke completely over looked the fact of what his son said about making his mother smell good as he looked at his son and chuckled lightly. "Aizen? Have you been playing in my lab and gotten a hold of something to make you hallucinate? Aizen is dead, Kenji. You know that. As does Ichimaru. Why would he go looking for a dead man?"
Kisuke turned with narrowed eyes making his way back to the vials on the counter. Did he over hear them talk the other night? If so, how much does the boy know?

Kenji scrunched his face beneath his mask. "I'm thirteen, Dad. You don't have to lie to me." He scratched the back of his head. Then, adjusted his shirt and dusted off his pant leg. Anything to delay his next statement.
"I overheard you and Take-jii talking to everybody, the other night. About Vale and Mr. Faux." Kenji slammed his fist on the counter, causing the bottles and tubes to rattle. "Dad, Vale isn't a bad guy! I just wanted to ask Mr. Faux if he would just turn himself in so you guys would let Vale go!"

Kisuke turned his eyes narrowed even more. "You let the adults handle this. If Vale is innocent we will find that out soon enough. As for Mr. Faux. You stay away from him. If he is Aizen we will take care of him."
He looked his son in the eyes. "Have the stories we told you mean nothing? Was what you saw happen to Kita when she escaped not enough to remind you that Aizen is a ruthless and cruel man? He will stop at nothing to get what he wants and kill anyone that gets in his way of getting it. Now we don't know for sure if Mr. Faux is Aizen--"

Kenji sprang to his feet and shouted, interupting his father. "But, Dad! Mr. Faux is Aizen!" Kenji's shoe lace caught under his foot as he stood, and he fell to the floor. He looked to his father from the floor. "He told me so, Dad! Something about the world is a stage and seven ages!"
Slowing pulling himself from the floor and back into his seat. "Dad, I know what I'm talking about. Mr. Faux is Aizen. And, he doesn't care about Vale. He said he's a sidewalk stone. STEPPING STONE!" he shouted, correcting himself. "Dad!"

"So you're telling me that bastard told you he was Aizen?" Kenji nodded quickly. "Can you remember exactly what he told you. Everything. Try not to leave out a thing."
Kenji stopped to think back, he tried hard to remember it all. When he got to the statement about the whole worlds a stage Kenji only got out the first few words.
"The hands of times are only turning for him and the others and all the world's a stage," Kenji fell silent rubbing the back of his neck as Kisuke finished the quote.
"And all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."

"What does that mean?" asked Kenji. He pulled on his mask, adjusting it. "Does that mean something bad?" He looked to his father with a puzzle expression. "And, how come you know you?"
"Its a quote from a famous English poet, William Shakespeare. It means old man Faux is not the only guise he has taken or will take before this is over." He rubbed his chin in thought. "And in seven years he will return. I wonder--"
"You wonder?" Kenji rose from his chair and weaseled his way back towards the door. He leaned against the wall next to the door. "This means that you guys will let Vale go, right?"

"I wonder," he turned and looked at his son. "How many more chores you can handle for this act of yours?"
Kenji paled as he looked at his father. "None?" nervously giggling at his father's question. "I was just doing what any Soul Reaper would do?" He shook his head and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Dad, I was just trying to help. I don't want Yuimgo to be sad about Vale. And, I don't want you guys to be mad at him."
Kisuke shook his head, "don't matter young man. This could have went very wrong. You're strong, yes, but you are nowhere as strong or as experienced as Aizen." He placed his hands on his sons shoulders. "Listen to me and listen good. You stay away from that man until I believe you are ready to face him." Kenji nodded as Kisuke's hands slid from his shoulders, turning from him he walked back to the counter as Kisuke heard the handle of the door turn.
"For your punishment you will clean the dojo, the shop and the training ground. That includes; filling the holes caused by Renji and Ichigo's Bankai." Kenji sighed as Kisuke turned looking at him. "Or I can tell your mother about this?"

Kenji shook his head quickly. "Don't tell." he answered. "But, you might want to go get Gin. He looked to his father with a frown. "Make sure he's ok." Kenji slid the door to the lab opened and he stepped out. "Sorry, Dad. I was just trying to help."

Kisuke looked to his son and smiled, "I know you were and I thank you for the help, but next time think about what you're doing before you do it. You're only thirteen and you're dealing with someone that has no morals or feelings. He don't care about you, just like he didn't care about Vale and he was one of his own. Just like Ichimaru. If he would not have gotten out what do you think Aizen would have done with him?"
Kenji gave his father a sad smile, "will you at least try and save Vale? Please. He really is a good guy."
Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat, "I know what he was and I know what he became and I saw with my own eyes what he was while he was here with us. You know I am a sensible person and I go by facts and nothing more. If I can find a reason beyond a doubt that Vale is innocent, I will help him. Other then that I have to do what is right to keep the realms safe. I may not be a member of the Gotei 13 any longer, but as a Soul Reaper. I have a vow I have to uphold, and that vow is to protect the humans and the realms."

Kenji nodded. "I understand." He pulled the mask off, as he stood in the hallway. He kicked off his shoes, leaving them by the door of the lab, and headed toward his room.
"You lucky idiot. I wonder how mad he'll get, at me taking my zanpakuto out of the house." Kenji smiled continued his shuffle down the hall.

Kisuke quickly cleaned up the lab locking away the perfumes for safe keeping. Not everyone was aware of them and until then they had to be kept under safe keeping. He pulled his mask tossing it to the counter as he walked over to the corner retrieving Benihime. "We got some work to do old girl. Hope your ready to face Aizen if he shows?" Kisuke smirked walking to the door of the lab and exited. He looked around the shop then disappeared the second he had the area Gin and the old man were located. It seems Gin caught him in front of the flower shop Vale use to work. A rather odd place, but a location none the less. |

"To Obtain":A garganta opened up on the side of the shop, nearest the wall he knew the lab was located. Stepping out, Koga brought his thumbs and index fingers together in the center of his chest. He charged and fired a grande rey cero, destroying the wall and creating an opening into the lab.
Calling for Teruo, Koga waited outside of the gaping hole for the real Teruo to enter. Teruo appeared and sonido'd into the lab, Koga following behind him. "Where is it?" he asked, licking his lips of the excess poison.Koga placed a hand to the wall of the lab, learning its secrets. He pointed to a series of cabinets. "We require a key and a combination.""Can't I just force it open?" asked Teruo, as he began ripping off the cabinet doors. Finding the safe, Teruo slid his fingers between the walls of the cabinet and the safe. He pulled the safe from its place and threw it towards the Espada. Koga laid a hand on the safe and smiled. "The hogyoku." Koga opened another garganta, and he stepped into the gate. Teruo followed behind, after picking up the safe. The garganta closed behind the Ayakashi, Espada and the safe containing the hogyoku.
