Yumiko hesitated but found she couldn’t say nothing. He looked upset, defeated even. It reminded her of when she had lost Chinmoku. “I recommend the park.” But that also reminded her of how she had nearly given up on returning to Soul Society and home. She turned around to leave. “And my name is Ryouma.”
She paused. Chinmoku?
Would that unravel Vale’s game?

"Ryouma?" Vale's puzzled expression worsened. "Have...Have we met before?" He took a step back. "I ask because...Um...Well, never mind." Vale turned from her and cleared his throat. "You have a good day, Miss Ryouma."

“We have, Tervaden,” she called after him, “but I will leave it at that.” She continued down the hall, placing a hand on Mizue no Kagami. Searching. Chinmoku… was strangely silent. She shook her head. After all he had done, she couldn’t pity Vale.
"He won't thank me for it," she murmured to herself.

Vale sighed and stopped in front of the door. "I hurt you too...Didn't I?" He turned to face the woman still walking down the hall. "Wait! I..." Vale sighed again and turned back to the door and left the shop.

Yumiko sighed, stopping again. Vale reaching out to her seemed to contradict that he had forgotten everything. She set her hand on her zanpakuto again. She had to be sure.....
Her mind filled with a clear watery surface of a lake, dancing with images and sparks of powers. A breeze drifted around her, creating ripples and deeper pools in the surface of the water. Her zanpakuto was nearly invisible in her shifting, reflecting form, standing above the water. Yumiko reached for Mizue, feeling some of her unease calm at her chiming presence against her mind. "Can you reach Chinmoku, Mizue?"
"I can, but are you sure you want to enter this realm?"
She hesitated. "I need to know."
The reflective feminine form nodded and then dipped into the pool. The surface darkened and swirled as Mizue no Kagami opened a swirling eye and pulled her young mistress into another realm.

Chinmoku cowered in the only light in its realm. It's black wings framed its childlike frame. And, it kept its small hands over its ears, shutting out the silence. "Vale?!" he shouted, crumbling as he turned to see the intruder. "You..." Chinmoku dispersed and began to swirl wildly around the intruder. "What have you done with him? What have you done with Vale?!"

Yumiko threw up her hands as the zanpakuto started rage around her, his pain clear in his words. "I didn't do anything," she called out, her own voice trembling. For a moment, she considered retreating but pushed on anyways. "Chinmoku, he's a changed man. He remembers nothing of Las Noches, Aizen, or anything in the past many years. We don't know how. I promise!"

"LIAR! You've done something! Something! I can't hear him! See him! Nothing!" Chinmoku raged on, pushing toward the intruder. "What. Have. You. Done?! Where is he? Where is Vale?"

Yumiko whimpered as the pain increased. "I wouldn't rob him... of you," she whispered. "That's the one.... thing I couldn't..." she fell to her knees and Mizue no Kagami wrapped around her, shielding her from the fury around her.
"I am returning you, Yumiko Ryouma," she chimed. "You are not up to this."
Mizue no Kagami reached above her and grabbed a piece of the swirling darkness. "Farewell, Chinmoku." She threw it at their surroundings, forming a hole and started to pull her mistress through.
Yumiko looked back at the raging child with wings.
What happened.... Is it the price for all he's done?
"I'm sorry, Chinmoku."

"Where is he?!" The child like form of Chinmoku continued to rage on, even after the intruder had gone. "Vale...Vale!" Chinmoku settled back into the light and covered his ears. "Why did you leave me?"

"Blessed Day":Two more months had dragged out making it yearly November. The days were growing even shorter the nights darker and more chilled as the days pushed on. Kita growing larger more exhausted and more depressed. Thus making the household worry when Sojiro was finally born. Kisuke literally begged Sumi to seal her memories of Las Noches once more, at least until Sojiro was a year old. Sumi would not do it. Her reasoning she did not share. She just faded back to her vessel and left her to her own undoing.
Kisuke nor Yoruichi was pleased with Sumi's decision with this, but they also knew she would not let Kita slip too far. She had to have her of sound mind and body if she were to continue to use her has her vessel.
It was mid-afternoon of November seventeenth as Kisuke, Yoruichi, Kenji and Tessai sat at the table enjoying their conversation as Kita whipped around the house. Sitting his teacup back to the table Kisuke chuckled lightly as Kita ran past them with an armful of baby blankets going toward her room.
"If she doesn't slow down she is going to be too tired to push and bring Sojiro into the world."

Yoruichi chuckled, "she will be fine. I went through the same thing with Kenji just before I went into labor."
Kenji just sat there looking to each person as they spoke to one another. His little mind running wild with what they were saying to one another.
Tessai nodded, "yeah Boss. Don't you remember? Yoruichi even cleaned the whole shop that day."

Kisuke adjusted his hat looking at Yoruichi, "that's right. I remember now. It took me months to figure out where half my stock disappeared to she cleaned it so well."
Yoruichi crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. "Well maybe if you were more organized you would not have had that issue."
Kisuke chuckled lifting his teacup, peeking out over it, "whatever you say dear."

Yoruichi nodded her head firmly as a smirk pulled at the corner of her lips. "That's more like it." Just about that time Kita came walking back into the room.
"Kita?" Yoruichi called to her. Kita stopped and turned to look at her. Yoruichi then patted the seat next to her, "come join us. You have been going all day. Take a break. Either with us or go see your man. I don't think you have been to see him all day."

Kita sighed softly, "I have so much too do and so little time to do it in. I just want to get it all done."
"Miss Kita, you have the help of everyone here. What you can't or don't get done we will do for you. You know that." Tessai reminded her.
Kita nodded and stepped toward the table to sit down as she looked to Yoruichi, "and I have been to see Gin. Like twelve times." She lowered her head as she sat down. "I want to share everything with him and..." she grew silent. "I know he can't see it and I am sure he has no idea what I am saying, but just talking to him about all this and showing things off to him I bought for Sojiro. It... it at least helps me."
