Yoruichi pushed a plate of cookies toward her and smiled. “We are really proud of you Kita and congratulations.”
Kita smiled nodding her head as the pitter patter of little feet came running down the hall and two little arms wrapped around her neck from behind.
“Nee-chan you're home!”

Kita patted Kenji’s little arms gently as she reached around her and grabbed him pulling him into her lap. She kissed the top of his head giving him a hug.
“I missed you too, Kenji. Were you a good boy while I was gone?” Kita asked him.
“Of course I was.” Kenji replied with a beaming smile. “Where you been?”
“I went to see Ichigo’s daddy, Isshin. he offered me a job the other day and I needed to go talk to him about it today.”
Kenji’s smile turned upside down. “So you’re going to leave us?”
Kita giggled softly, “Of course not silly boy. I will just be away from home in the mornings and afternoons.”
“NO!” Kenji wailed, quickly wrapping his arms around Kita’s neck. “I won’t have anyone to play with then.”
Kita giggled softly, "You have your dad, mom and Tessai to still play with, Kenji."

Yoruichi reached over pulling Kenji from around Kita’s neck and at him on her lap. “Now Kenji. We all have to work. Some of us just away from home. Nee-chan is one of those people.”
Kenji crossed his arms in a huff turning his nose up to them. “Not fair! Why can’t daddy give her a job here in the shop?”
Kisuke chuckled and ruffled Kenji’s hair. “Because Kita would not be happy working in the boring old shop. She has already done that for me when she was still in school.”
Yoruichi and Kisuke then turned their attention to Kita as she pushed up from the table and stood. “Where are you going?”

Kita looked to them as she turned and started down the hall again. “To tell Gin like I was before you stopped me. Where else?”Yoruichi quickly got up again and got between her and Gin’s room again. Kita giving her an odd look. “What is going on?” Kita asked her.“Nothing…” Yoruichi told her with a nervous smile.“I don’t believe you.” Kita said getting around her swiftly, sliding the door to Gin’s room. Kita’s eyes widened as the remainder of her smile faded quickly. “R--Ran--giku…”
She was combing her fingers through Gin’s hair as she sat next to his side.Moved

"Facing the Pain of Reality III": Yumiko had stayed at the shop since her escape, but after speaking of her worry brought about by Aizen’s blade, she didn’t speak of much more. She became quiet and spent most of the time in her room, reading books. With the closely guarded hubbub over the sword and Inoue’s precipitous return, no one seemed to question her. Though some had probably noticed her late night trips to the kitchen to make hot chocolate. Kita had even left the shop with Rangiku to do some shopping before the lieutenant returned to her division. That was good. She didn’t need questions. She needed to analyze what had happened and find her answers out of the prophecy spoken by Koga. She needed to clear Las Noches from her life. Especially the pieces that had a hold on her. Her hands closed around her cup of hot chocolate. She didn’t belong there. What she was searching for…… wasn’t there…. and wasn’t in Aizen’s arms or …. Vale’s.

“FUCK IT!” Ichigo shouted as he threw open the door to the living area open, in his soul form nonetheless. “Why does this have to happen to us?” he growled as he walked in. “Kisuke! My Old Man needs you.”
“What’s wrong?” Vacanze asked, approaching from the hallway.
Ichigo nodded his way. “Hiya, V-Man. Where’s Kisuke?”
Vacanze shrugged. “He left to do something with the parameters of the town, I think. Tessai and he were loaded down with some huge items, but I didn’t understand the explanation.” He rubbed the back of his head. “Why? Is it an emergency?”
“Kita?” Ichigo inquired, ignoring him, shoulder hunched as if bracing himself for something.
Vacanze raised his eyebrows. “Out shopping with Rangiku, if you must know. What’s going on, Ichigo?”
Ichigo collapsed at the table with a long sigh. “It’s not an emergency. We’re too late to do anything about it.” He looked down at the table. “Or- Inoue is pregnant...” the youth mumbled, barely above a breath, "unless we want to kill it..."
Vacanze blinked. “I don’t think I heard you.”
Ichigo slammed his fist on the table. “INOUE IS PREGNANT!” he screamed, eyes narrowed but not blackening, over bright. “Someone knocked her up in Las Noches, and she’s FUCKING happy about it! I almost wished I never convinced her to let Dad take a look at her. She’s fucking smiling; her eyes are different. And she’s not the same Inoue I’ve known most of my life. It’s going to kill Tatsuki!”
He took a breath and the tears in his eyes cleared. “I failed… and Dad wants Kisuke … to figure out whose baby it is…..”
His voice lowered again.. “I think she told Dad something when he cleared me out of the room….. Dad looked grim….”
“She’s gone….. I don’t know if I can get her back….”

Vacanze sighed heavily rubbing the back of his neck again. "Damn!" He voiced under his breath taking a seat at the table with Ichigo. He reached over gripping Ichigo's shoulder. "Sorry about that Subman, but maybe this might pull her out of her frame of mind. Pregnancy does weird things to women...or well...so I read in a book somewhere."
As Ichigo lifted his head and looked at him the sound of breaking glass echoed out from one of the backrooms. The two looked at one another their eyes questioning.

Pregnant?
Ori- Inoue .... was pregnant?!
“And she’s not the same Inoue I’v know most of my life. It’s going to kill ….. She’s gone.”
Yumiko stumbled backwards, dropping her cup of hot chocolate and moving deeper into her room, eyes on the stain flowing over the carpet. Again….. she’d done that before.
Her heart and head started pounding as Kita’s voice rang out, warning her of Aizen’s true nature. The cup of tea spilling over the marble floor….. spreading. The bite in his words as Aizen called her pathetic while she’d been imprisoned. She clutched her head as his voice gave way to her parents’ waves of disappointment. She turned around, starting to feel sick. Kita’s injuries…. as she worked to heal her. Aizen’s words on what rebellion would cost her and then how he had persuaded her into his arms again, only to toss her aside afterwards.
Trembling hands turned on the sink, filling the air with the sound of water. Her long showers to bolster against something bending inside her each time Aizen took her, how her resistance was falling away. She wasn’t giving up…. she had been giving in, accepting her place.
She looked into the swirling water, tears filling her eyes. She wasn’t sure why. The swirling colors as Aizen flung her from him in the garden and Vale’s ….. unexpected support…. She clenched her hands around the sink. Vale describing her as a rose, caressing her cheek, removing Koga from her side. Vale pinning her roughly in the room. Her slapping him. Vale’s screaming at Chinomku’s pain…. The clenching of her own heart. Was that why?
Was that why she couldn’t resist him a second time? Why she had surrendered. His.
Mine.
Everything was overflowing. Doubt, rage, fear, guilt. She covered her mouth as Orihime’s accusations rang out, each word biting deeply and taking another chunk out of her courage.
"What is there to forget about Vale?! He is an asshole! He's done horrible things! He's killed for pure sport! He's raped me just because he could! And, you still gave into him….”
Yumiko whimpered, trying to stop the flow in her mind.
But like the water, it persisted.
You're just as bad as the rest of the fucking assholes here. You want only for yourself."
She’s not the same.
I’m sorry.
You're a bitch. But, now you're his bitch. A title I will gladly give you. Because, you deserve him."
I’m sorry.
I just wanted…. wanted….
"This internal conflict of yours, it amuses me. You're lost for no reason at all. Let me help you find your way. " Koga turned and pointed to the throne with the shimmering sword above it. "Welcome home, my Queen."
No.
"When I want you, I will have you, Rose."
“NooooooOOO!!!!!” Yumiko screamed, punching through the mirror with all her might. It splintered into her knuckles. breaking her image.
“I don’t belong there.” She punched it again, not even wincing when the glass flecked across her face “It was nothing but an illusion.” Again. The glass dug deeper into her knuckles. “t’s not even the right dream.” Once more. “I can’t be happy there, no matter how much I can’t forget the freedom and feelings there.” She felt someone pull her back from the shattered mirror and she fought blindly against them. How dare they get in the way of her pain. “Aizen’s dead” she screamed with all her might, trying to expel that man from where he was still rooted in her heart. “Vale is just another illusion. He can’t heal me!" She wanted the words to free her from the pull to him. She didn't know if they would. "I won’t find what I am looking for there!”

The more Vacanze tried to control her the more Yumiko fought against him. Holding her tightly against him pulling her back from the broken glass he looped his arms up under her arms from behind and locked his fingers behind her neck.
"STOP IT YUMIKO!!" Vacanze growled at her.
Still she raged on, blood from her bloody and broken hand being flung across the room as she fought to free herself of his hold. Vacanze looked at Ichigo as he stood in the doorway wide eyed and watching Yumiko struggled to get free.
"FUCKING GO FIND KISUKE OR SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP THIS CHICK!! SHE IS FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!!" He screamed at Ichigo over Yumiko's screaming, growling and grunting to get free.
As Ichigo turned to take off for help Yumiko finally broke free of Vacanze. She turned and started swinging on him as he dodged and ducked a few of the hits. When he looked toward Ichigo, which was standing there again, Vacanze narrowed his eyes taking his attention from the enraged woman. One of her fist then connected with Vacanze's jaw. His eyes narrowed more as he stood erect and looked at Yumiko with narrowed, flame red eyes.
Before Yumiko could attack him again Vacanze lifted his open hand and slapped her so hard she spun in place, falling to her knees in the floor.
"CALM THE FUCK DOWN WOMAN!!"

Ichigo shook himself free of his dismay at the sight before him and took off in a burst of speed to find Kisuke. Damn it! Everything is falling apart. This is not how it is supposed to be. He told Jinta to stay away from that area of the house and took off.

Yumiko stayed on the ground for a moment, breathing heavily. Before Orihime’s, Vale’s, and Koga’s words started up in her head again. She whirled up, kido flaring in her palm. Vacanze quickly grabbed her arm, the blast going off above their heads.
“FUCKING CALM DOWN!”
She was deaf to him, drawing the blade at her side and flinging it upwards. Vacanze released her, eyes narrowed in calculation. Yumiko glared at him, not really seeing him, her reiatsu spinning out of control and spiraling around her. Mizue no Kagami shimmering in her hand.
Blue white flames formed behind her, arching up into large wings. The neck arched. Yumiko looked down at her hands. Covered in blood.
"It's far too late for you."
"He's dead, Yumiko."
“I’m sorry….” the bird launched itself at the enemy in the room.

Lucky for Vacanze, Ichigo had found Kisuke and Tessai only a block or two from the shop. When they entered Kisuke quickly drew Benihime.
"Awaken! Chikasumi no Tate!" Kisuke cried out as Benihime's Bloody Shield shot up between Vacanze and Yumiko's attack. Vacanze quickly made his retreat as Tessai quickly locked his fingers together and chanted a spell. Black bands then shot up from the floor and wrapped around Yumiko, shutting down her powers and rage.

Yumiko fell to the ground as the bindings cut her off from her powers, the shock of the fall and loss of that energy breaking her from the haze that had overtaken her. She closed her eyes, just laying there. “I’m sorry…” she whispered hoarsely. “I’m sorry….. Please forgive me. I’m sorry.” She started trembling again, guilt, heartache, and pain overwhelming her. She wanted nothing more than to curl into a ball or retreat into a dream.

Kisuke and Vacanze walked over to Yumiko, Kisuke touching her head, brushing the hair from her face as he spoke gently to her. "Its' not your fault Yumiko." He looked to Tessai and nodded. Releasing her from the restraints Vacanze picked Yumiko up in his arm and carried her over to her bed sitting her up there.
Tessai then moved in and took over healing her wounds.
"What happened, Yumiko?" Kisuke asked her petting her head as he sat down next to her. Vacanze exited the room to go get the broom and dustpan to clean up the glass and the rest of the mess in the room.

Wha - what happened? She winced as Tessai pulled out a splinter of glass, And another flashback took over - of Aizen pulling out a thorn from her hand.
Orihime’s words echoed out in her head once more.
“No!” she gasped, pushing Tessai and Kisuke back, a kido blast hitting somewhere in the room before she curled up in a ball. “It’s my fault. It is my fault,” she cried. “I know it is.” She flinched as the word ‘btich’ echoed in her head. “Stop it! Please! I - I was lost. Orihime, I- I’m sorry.”
