"I'm convinced you just like crying..." whispered Vale. He opened his one good eye and looked up at her. "I know you're not crying over this old beat up body of mine. I'm not worth any of those tears. Save them for someone more deserving, love." Vale chuckled as Yumiko said nothing but continued to run a hand through his hair.
"You know, when all this shit is over, you should go home. Be with Ukitake again...Your family...Do something that makes you happy. Something that's a big fuck you to that pretentious bastard."

Yumiko managed a faint smile at that and lifted his hand, kissing the back of it. “I thought my happiness was returning to you, though I am speaking to Juushiro again.” Her voice remained hoarse as she squeezed her eyes shut to stem the overflow of emotions. “I’m glad you came back. I thought Kadaj had lost you forever. I-I should have said no to you. I put you all in so much danger just for my own sake.”

"You did what you thought was best." Vale propped himself up on his elbows. "Just like everyone else. No one is faulting you for that. I most certainly won't. Hell...I can't, considering I'm responsible for this week's chaos." He glanced over his shoulder.
Vale grew silent as he hung his head. "I think we're all chasing after whatever it is that looks like happiness for us. You want to protect it. I want to protect Kadaj, and his mother..And you. There's plenty of reasons for you to run from me." He wiped a bit of dried blood from his face. "I'm just a mess of fuckery, for starters." he laughed. "And...I've done a lot of shit worth shunning."

“Vale…” Yumiko tried to protest but a sea of images entered her head, along with a jumble of words. Darkness tinged with red started to fill her mind, and she shook her head sharply. “No, Vale… I can’t do this right now. You’re hurt. This.. we just got out. I can’t think of the consequences right now. I’m not ready.” She bit her lip hard enough to taste blood, trying to stop her trembling.
“Rose…”
“No, Vale! We’ve all lost our way there,” Yumiko gave a brittle laugh, wiping at the tears in her eyes. “I hurt one of the only men to stand by side when it all crashed down. Kita killed too many to count to stay alive and protect her family. I don’t even know what happened to Kenji because I was barely allowed to see any of it, and now he’s falling apart. I’m not ready for that.”
She lowered her head further, hiding her gaze from him. "I'm scared..."

"You're allowed to be scared, Yumiko." he whispered, leaning back and letting his head rest in her lap. "Just don't stay scared, you know...No point in wallowing in it. Not that I think that Ukitake would even let you. He's got a knack for making others feel strong." Vale raised a hand to his scared eye. "Or...extremely weak..." Vale sat up and turned to face Yumiko.
"Hey listen...I know I am a jackass...and a moron...and uh..bunch of other shit. But, I do care about you. And if I may be disgustingly nice for a moment, I want you to be happy. Even if that means cutting me out. Or leaving people behind. Do what's best for you." Vale shook his head. He slid across the floor until his back was against the wall. "...That was gross..."

Unable to refute the warmth behind those words, Yumiko giggled quietly and scooted over to join him. “Or wonderfully sweet.” She murmured, setting a hand on his arm. Her small smile grew as he grunted in denial and she leaned up to kiss the eyelid above the scarred eye, resting her forehead against his. She closed her eyes again, her voice rough. “Thank you for saying that and... I’ll remember."
She opened her eyes again, gaze clear again. “But nothing can end or begin when you’re like this so stop moving around. You can’t even hold your real hope in your arms for a long time."

Vale shook his head. "Kita will see that my time is limited anyway. It would be safer, I think. She thinks..." He let his head rest against the wall. "He's better off without me anyway." Vale raised a hand to dismiss anything Yumiko would say on the matter. "I am not exactly built to be a father, Yumiko. You all hope that Sojiro turns out like his father. Kenji likes his. Kadaj...You hope he turns out like his mother. I know where I stand in all of this and I'm okay with it."
Vale looked down the long hallway. Kisuke was leaving his son's room. His hat was pulled down over his eyes as he walked to the end of the hallway before disappearing into another room. "So what now?"

Yumiko’s eyes followed Kisuke’s departure before turning back to him. She sighed and took Vale’s hand, sending more healing waves into him, eyes lowered as she focused on the simpler problem in front of her. “I don’t know. You need to rest still and then see Kadaj. That’s- that’s why you came. After…” she bit her lip, torn between silence and asking him to stay. But the earlier words lingered between them.
Vale brought his hand up to her lips. “Don’t do that.”
She smiled again and lifted her head. “Whether or not you caused this week’s mess — and whether we have much to discuss — they’re not going to turn you away. It’s your choice too, Vale.” She grew bold and turned her head to kiss his hand, trying to let some hope for them remain. “You don’t have to leave.”

Vale took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "I know..." he whispered. "But you know I can't. If Urahara doesn't lock me up, Kyoraku will. And, while there is a chance Aizen will do the same, it is worth the risk." He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "It would be nice to have the option though..." "I'm going to let you finish. Then sleep this off. But, I won't be here in the morning." Vale leaned over until he laid on his side. "Yumiko..." he whispered her name as he drifted off having finally given in to his pain. "Don't let him do it...Don't let...Alister..." END RP "Time for a Talk" |

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 403 "Relation": (Continued) Yoruichi looked at Gin with a raised brow and a straight face, "critical to the future, huh? Wow, who would have thought." She walked over to the boy placing her free hand to his shoulder.
"Alright, instead of psychoanalyzing your fathers and the sliver haired reapers relationship--which I believe no one should do without warning--lets get you fed." She led the boy to the table and gently pushed him down to sit just as Tessai walked out from the kitchen. |

"But," Ide stepped away from the woman holding his brother. "I'm not hungry. And, I don't want a snack. With all due respect..." Ide raised his hands and asked for forgiveness. "Sorry. Seto said to come here. Should I listen to the guy? Probably not. I've know him for a whole thirty minutes. But..." He shrugged. "He's my dad, I guess..."
"So, what did you think of your father, kid?"
"I already said that I thought he was okay sans the murdery parts." Ide looked to the silver haired guy as if he were annoyed. "You don't listen very well, mister. Are you like this with everyone or just strangers?"

Gin snickered at the bold kid and waved a hand. “Sometimes it works to get exactly what I want so it’s easier than taking the polite path. I’m sure you could ask your mother or your brother's mother about it sometime.” His eyes opened further as he regarded the boy in front of him, his grin softening. “I think you’ll make it. You have just enough of what counts.”
To be honest, he kind of liked the kid, even if he was Vale’s firstborn. His observations were a fun mix of bravery and naivety, and he liked it when the younger generation could actually look him in the eye. Maybe that would change when he got filled in with everything, but at the moment, Gin had no real reason to pick on Ide too much.
At least for now.
Sometimes they were more fun when they weren’t scare of him, like a certain kid back in Soul Society.

"Well, I am sorry to say that today is a bad day for Kisuke. He is planning on spending the day with his own son, and the needs of one compared to the needs of the other are much different. If you would like, you can come back another day? Or you can stick around and I can explain some things to you that might help you understand yourself." Yoruichi shifted her weight as she bounced Kadaj in her arms. Are they all like Seto?...He thought. He looked as though he wanted to say yes but then his phone rang. Ide dug around in his chest pack for his phone. "Oh! It's my mom. Excuse me." He held the phone to his ear as he stepped away from the pair. "Hey mom...Yeah, I found him...I'll be home soon. But..." Ide tossed his head back and groaned. "I don't want to stop the-...Fine...I'll be home soon. Bye. Bye...Mom! Bye!" Ide hurried back to the pair. "I have to go. My mom wants me to stop by the store to grab dinner." He smiled and waved a hand. "I'm not sure when I'll be able to stop by again. But, Seto said that all I have to do is ring the bell at his apartment. So, soon I hope. I gotta go." Yoruichi smiled warmly at the boy, "Ide," she called out to him, he stopped for only a second. "You're welcome here anytime, and if you ever need any help you know where to find us." The boy nodded and started his path once more, leaving the shop and his new acquaintances behind.~END RP~ "Trial by Fire: Ring the Bell"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 443 “Difficulty”: It was early morning at Urahara Shop, and everyone was still sleeping. Everyone that is but Kisuke. He was on high alert with what took place the evening before. Questions needed answers and the man that could give him those answers was still a drooling mess. Tessai tried to purify Aizen’s blood from Sada’s poison, but it was not happening. Kisuke knew there was only one person--other than a Goddess--that could do what was needed. However, convincing them to save Aizen might be a slight chore.
Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat, “It’s not like I have not dealt with a difficult woman in the past.” With a determined look on his face, Kisuke headed toward the back of the house to exit. “Let’s get this over with.”Moved |

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 451 “Running In Circles”: (continued) The Godly gate opened in the living domain as Gin walked out with Kita in his arms and Sojiro right behind them. To their surprise, Kisuke and Tessai were sitting at the table having tea.Kisuke got a concerned look and quickly lifted from the table when he saw Kita. "What the Hell happened to you?!" He made a path toward Gin as he still held Kita in his arms. He watched as Kita lifted her hand, the skin was bright red and black and it was not from the blood that was still seeping from the wound. "Bring her here and put her down," Tessai demanded of Gin as he too was standing from the table."Don't need to tell me twice." He handed Kita off to the other two and then whirled around. "I'll be back." Gin left the room quickly. Sojiro's eyes followed his father's departure and the tender care of his mother. He sat down nearby, Kadaj already falling back asleep in his sling. "Will she be okay?" he asked."Don't worry," Kisuke stated, setting a hand on his head. "We'll get this fixed up."Sojiro released a breath. "Okay," he looked over his shoulder. "I don't think I've seen Dad like that.""It's not the first time," Kisuke answered as he approached Tessai and Kita to get a better look at the burn.Tessai looked up at Kita from her hand and gave her a warm smile, "and I don't think it will be the last." He looked over at Sojiro and Kadaj, "for a long time to come."Kita could not help a small smile and then cringed."Sorry," Tessai replied, "this might hurt a little but I have to get a better look. I have to know the best plan of attack here."Kita nodded with her jaw clenched tightly. "I can't believe how bad my hand looks. I didn't have ahold of it very long.""Ahold of what?" Kisuke asked, adjusting his hat to better look at Kita's hand."Chinmoku. Chinmoku did this to me," Kita stated. |
