Yumiko flinched as people exploded, made points or asked their question. Her hands clenched in Kita’s and Ukitake’s, trying to blot the noise out. Trying to blot out the fact that Vale had been the one to bring him back. The man who had pieced so much of her soul back together. Who challenged her when she was about to fall. Her throat grew tight but she wouldn’t let herself cry. A part of herself wanted to cling to the warmth from Kita, Kisuke, and Ukitake. Another part wanted to flee from it all. And finally, there was a ripple of rage deep underneath. Yumiko took a deep breath and sat there stiffly. Looking into her lap. White.
Why, Vale? Why bring him back and then return to me?

Isshin clasp his hand to his sons shoulder for moral support as he looked to Kisuke. "He's been right under our very noses this whole time hasn't he Urahara?" He watched as the shopkeeper adjusted his hat nodding slowly.
"So why did you not say something sooner?" Isshin's was finding himself getting a little on the perturbed side with this new finding.

Kisuke sighed looking around the room. "Yes he has been under our very noses this whole time. I did not want to believe it. I wanted to believe it was just a very intelligent old man that had lived his life and experienced more then most. He never really led me to believe he was Aizen. It was just some of the things he said was so very--" he pulled his hat from his head lowering his eyes and sighed again.
"Aizen."

Kita's grip loosened on Gin's arm and Yumiko's hand. Her eyes blank of expression, her face white as a ghost. "So... so it is Mr. Faux."
Everyone turned and looked at Kita with what she said. Some even repeating the his name with shock and awe. "All this time. Eight years of him calling me Kitten and telling me how Sojiro was like his father in looks and as he grew older his personality." Her hand slowly went to her head as she looked to the floor.
"For eight years he has been part of this group. Befriending us all." She looked up quickly a tear rolling down her cheek. "Even the children. Sojiro, Kenji, Evita... All of us." She looked quickly back at Kisuke. "HOW DID HE GET THAT WAY!?!"
Gin went to take hold of her as she back away swatting at him. She then froze in place letting her head drop back as she looked up at the ceiling and screamed, "DAMN YOU TO HELL SUMI!! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS!!"

Isshin combed his fingers through his hair shaking his head. "That old bastard. I thought something was up with him. Always showing up at the right times or in this case the wrong times." He looked to Kita as Gin got a hold on her quieting her down.
"But he is only human. Right Urahara?" Isshin shook his head, "he can't do anything. Just torment us with his gestures and comments, right?"

Gin’s own rage banked at Kita's desperate cry. He reached for her again and snaggged an arm. He tugged her face down into his chest, to scream there, tears streaming down her face. “Shhhhhhh… dearie. Remember we are trying to let the kids sleep,” he whispered, stroking her head. “And remember what I told you beforehand. We will find a way to end him.”
He looked back over to Kisuke as Isshin addressed him. “Please tell you have a plan NOW and that you have some information on his plan. And if it's to let an old man wander free, you're out of your mind."

Yorusuke just leaned against the wall, his arms folded over his chest as he listened to them in their outbursts, their questions, and in their silence. Each one haunted in a different way by this man. He had yet to deal with him personally. Though he had met the old man Gary Faux. He seemed innocent enough, but then again from the stories he had heard about Aizen, he was a lot like this old man before he found out to be a traitor.
He took a breath and exhaled slowly as he pushed off the wall and looked at Kisuke. "You said he was saved by a forbidden Kido. Is there one that can undo this?"

Yoruichi turned to look at Yorusuke. "Forbidden spells are forbidden for a reason. Most of them have serious consequences for the caster. The late Yamamoto for example. He used one on Aizen and it cost him his arm. If there was such a spell, who might you suggest use this spell? That's assuming they could pull it off."

"What other option do we have? Nothing works on that bastard! Not even Ichigo's attack from the first war and Kisuke's spell could kill him. They only sealed him, and he still got out. What else can we do but fire every big gun we have at him." Vacanze punched the closest wall. "Ichimaru ripped his fucking heart out and it still didn't work!!!"

Yoruskue looked at Yoruichi then Vacanze. "Make Tervaden do it. That bastard brought him back from the brink of death. If he can do that I am sure he can send him back. Even if it does cost them both their lives. One's no better than the other in my book."
Yorusuke's words hard and cold as he spoke them. "I say go to the source. Tervaden did this make him undo this."

Yumiko closed her eyes, wishing for the oblivion of the darkness to take back those words. Surely there was another way to end this. Was she the only one who still had hope for Vale? Smiles like his aren't fabricated....
Even if he saved Aizen? another part of her mind asked.
And you still don’t know if he was in communication or had knowledge of Aizen’s transformation and plans?
A tear finally slipped past her control.

Juushiro looked from Yorusuke to Yumiko. She still hadn’t said a word. Sighing and squeezing her hand, he looked to Yorusuke. “Such is a plausible theory in word, Nagano, but I am afraid, in practice, that is not a viable option for one certain reason.” He paused, trying to word this in a way that wouldn’t shatter his daughter’s heart. “Would people believe the deed had been completed if he was given that task?”

Yorusuke looked at Captain Ukitake with a slight scowl. "Permission to speak frankly, and not have to worry about it coming back to bite me in the ass, Captain Ukitake?"
Ukitake nodded to him as Yorusuke spoke up. "That bastard Tervaden walked around here claiming to be our friend, claiming to be in love with your daughter. Not all of us condemned him. A lot of us were accepting him and calling him friend. He did this. He saved Aizen and if you ask me, he was the bastard that had him hid under our very noses."
Yorusuke saw Kisuke lower his head and cover his eyes with his hat. "Son of a Bitch," Yorusuke said running his fingers through his hair as he shuffled his feet under him, "Now if that is not a slap in the fucking face, I don't know what is. That's one fucked up friend and lover if you ask me. What else did the bastard do?" Yorusuke asked as he looked between Ukitake and Kisuke.

A tiny whimper escaped Yumiko as she began to tremble, even more so as Juushiro answered. “There was deadline to this peace, either ten or fifteen years.”
No.
Was it all a lie, Vale?
Or was I supposed to care only for you?
She couldn’t take it. So many years of being in a darkness created by Soul Society, then trapped in a nightmarish dream, and now…. a blind happiness.
Now I know why Alister chose that price…
“What happens. at the end. of the deadline?” the noble asked, voice emotionless.
Slowly, she started pushing everything away. Locking it. Burying it. She just - just needed to exist. Nothing more. Her head started aching and she pushed back. Then her vision swam.

Juushiro and Kita caught Yumiko before she fell forward in dead faint. And Kisuke pinched a nerve on her neck to wake her up. Just as she woke up, she started heaving. Somehow Tessai got a bowl before she lost any nutrition she had in her system. Juushiro and Kisuke stroked her back but her shaking wouldn’t calm. Finally, Juushiro passed a hand over her eyes and let her slip away.
He looked to his friend and shook his head. “This was the wrong way to tell her. Before we go any further, I am going to take her to an empty room."
For a moment only, the captain allowed his deep worry and fear veiled in his dark green eyes to brim through.
