With Vacanze growling in the background like a great animal about to charge, Gin leaned off the wall and walked up to face the new mask of Vale Tervaden. Seto, hmmm. He chuckled, halting next to Rangiku, whose color had faded with their discussion. His grin grew and he took ahold of the braided hilt of his zanpakuto.
“Yes, it is, Seto-san~” He drew the blade and a great light filled the room, Shinsou appearing in his kitsune form, the five tails wrapping around his master as the red eyes focused on the group. “And when you betray her,” he purred, “he will take your life.” Gin's eyes opened, blatantly crimson and hungry. “No matter how many times it takes to shred that immortal husk of yours.”
He wasn't going to fall. Not now.

Rangiku growled softly as she stood from the table were she sat putting herself between the two men. "Now that that has been said. I have a few things I need to talk to this fox about." Her hand went to the centre of Gin's chest as she gently pushed him back.
"Where are you keeping them?" Vacanze jolted up looking at Vale. "I want to see them. Kita and the kids."
Vale looked his way not saying anything.
"They're fine V-man. Just leave it alone. If it makes you feel any better, I have not seen Kita this happy in years." Yoruichi told him.
This however, did not settle well with Gin as he grabbed Rangiku's wrist grumbling under his breath. "We can talk in my room."
Rangiku started as she nearly drug down the hall toward his room as she looked back at the others. "Excuse us please."

Seto shook his head, as he watched Ichimaru and Matsumoto walk away. He looked to Kurosaki and the hollow. "I owe neither of you an explanation. Nor does Yoruichi or Kisuke. And, while I am sure Kita appreciate your concern, she would ask that you manage to be mindful of her feelings. You all parade around in all your anger, searching for her. You've failed to realize that she does not want to be found. She is happy where she is. She is happy with me. And, not one of you...Ichimaru included...Can do a damn thing about it."
"That's enough, Seto." said Yoruichi, sipping on the drink in her cup.
Turning to looked at her, Seto gave a quick nod. "My apologizes, Yoruichi." As he turned on his heels, readying himself to leave, he glanced over his shoulder. "If I am followed...By anyone...I will-"
"You won't be, Seto. You have nothing to worry about. Does he, boys?"
Neither the hollow or Kurosaki answered, they only grunted in their forced agreement.

Yoruichi looked from the boys to Seto, his back still to her. "Seto, why did you come here? It could not have been just to drop Ichimaru's sword. As far as you knew he was still in his coma. So why?"
She looked over at Tessai as he walked from the kitchen a tray in his hands. He nodded to her then turned walking back into the kitchen leaving them to finish their conversation. She looked back to Seto.
"Is everything alright?"

"Kadaj..." began Seto. "He can sense zanpakuto. He told me that it was sad." Seto turned and looked to Yoruichi, shoving his hands deep into his pockets. "Besides, now that he is getting curious about zanpakuto, Kita doesn't want any more than we need in the house."
Yoruichi nodded with a smile. "He sounds like Kenji when he was just a bit older. He'll be a little terror, just like his father."
Seto chuckled, shaking his head. "Let's pray that they are better than their fathers. But, yes. I came only to return his zanpakuto. I did not think he would be awake. Hopefully, having Shinso back will aid in his recovery. Turning back toward the door, Seto took his leave.

Once Seto had left, Yoruichi lifted from her sitting place at the table and walked toward the kitchen with the dirty cups and tea pot. Before she disappeared into said kitchen she turned and looked at Vacanze and Ichigo still sitting there.
"If either of you are gone when I come back. I will find you and when I do you won't like me any longer. So I suggest you second guess your next move."
She heard both boys growl under their breath Vacanze's clenched fist hitting the floor next to him. He looked up at her as she only shook her head. "Let it go. If you interfere your only going to hurt Kita and the kids. In time they will come back around, but change has to come from this end as well as theirs." She looked toward the door where Seto exited. "He is trying," she looked back at the boys. "He does love her, and he loves the kids. Isn't all any of us ever ask for in a relationship?"
The boys hung their heads nodding slowly. "As long as she is happy we should not worry or interfere and try to except her choice. If we don't and we keep this anger burning for the man she is with... Kita will never come home. Not even to visit."
Both boys looked up at her quickly with wide eyes. She only nodded confirming what she said. She then turned, stepping into the kitchen.

"Visit Home" continued:
Yuzu leapt up from her nearby chair just as the oven started beeping at her, grabbing the oven mitts before slowly pulling out a chocolate cake. Flipping it upside down on a platter, she carefully pried it from the Bundt pan. It was her day off from her part time job at the hospital downtown, and the Kurosaki clinic had been temporarily closed until her dad found someone to replace him when he retired from ordinary life. There were even enough hands in the kitchen of her favorite bakery. The change left her with plenty of time to spoil her boyfriend.
The cake fell onto the plate with a thump and a river of hot chocolate flowed down from the middle, releasing a heady mixture of cinnamon and fudge into the air. She licked her finger and smiled, not minding the slight burn.
Then jolted as something clanged from the lab. Yuzu chuckled and shook her head. What was he doing in there?
Turning from the cake, she pulled out a tin of powdered sugar, set it on the table with the cake and then opened the fridge for the strawberries.
A blast shook the room, making her hug the bowl close.
It took her a moment to realize that it couldn’t be from Karin training in the basement and another moment to drop the bowl and run down the hall.Moved-- END --

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: Deep RenewalEpisode 305 "Promise Kept": (continued) Sojiro nearly fell over in his pacing as the underground room shifted around him and suddenly he reappeared in the living room of Urahara’s Shop. “What the-” he rubbed at his eyes just in case he was getting tired and seeing things. But the room stayed the same. His eyes narrowed, wondering if it was another trick, before another pop sounded out and Daichi appeared in the air above him, falling into his arms.
“Daichi? What’s going on?”
But before the ferret could respond, he spun around as a cry sounded out and his brother kicked in his blankets from the couch where he lay. Sojiro immediately scooped him up, holding him close. Daichi tried to chitter something in his ear, but Sojiro couldn’t pay attention, his mind whirling because Kadaj had been with his mother beforehand. If Kadaj was with him, then where-
Where did his mom go!?
If this was another illusion, he had to find a way out of it to find his mother. And if this was the real world, he couldn’t have been returned here alone, could he?
Sojiro nearly sprang up the stairs, still holding his fussing baby brother, until more energy filled the shop from various locations, including Kisuke’s and Yoruichi’s. Somehow, that didn’t seem to fit an illusion. He sat back down on the couch, a little weak on his feet now. Somehow he knew his mother would be nearby.
He tried to rock Kadaj in his arms. “It’s okay, Daj, it’s okay. I think - I think it’s over.” |

Yoruichi wandered into the living room of what she immediately recognized as the shop in Karakura Town. But that couldn't be possible. They were in Rukongai just moments before and the shop was destroyed. She suddenly lost consciousness and when she came to she was in her room in the shop. The shop was standing once again in the condition it had been before all of this started.
She saw Sojiro holding his newborn brother.
"What in the gods' names...?" She held her head, trying to make sense of it all.

Tessai stood behind Yoruichi placing his hand on her shoulder when she wavered slightly. He looked across the room at Sojiro and his baby brother smiling brightly. "It's good to see you two made it here as well." He looked to Yoruichi removing his hand from her shoulder then stepped around her to the kids.
"Have you seen your mother since all this has taken place?"
Sojiro shook his head looking up at Tessai, then looked back to his baby brother when he started to cry again.
"I'm right here, Tessai. It seems whatever took place thought I needed to be on the second floor."
Tessai smiled brightly at her. "It's good to see you again, Kita." He gave her a hug as she stopped beside him, where he was standing with the boys.
"What the hell happened?!" Yoruichi questioned as she stepped over to them.
Tessai shrugged, Kita and Sojiro shaking their heads.

After releasing Tessai from the hug she walked over and took a seat on the couch next to her oldest. She reached out taking Kadaj from him. "He is hungry."Tessai stood erect and looked around quickly, his hand lifting as he scratched the top of his head. "We need bottles." He turned quickly and started a path across the floor.
Kita giggled softly. "It is alright, Tessai. I am breastfeeding him for now." Kita adjusted Kadaj in her arms and gestured for Sojiro to help her remove her haori. Once she had it off she tossed it over Kadaj and her shoulder. After a few seconds, Kadaj fell silent.
She looked over at Yoruichi and smiled brightly, happy to see her again. "I don't know what happened to be honest, but I have this really strange feeling Aizen or a God had a hand in this. They are the only ones that could pull this off." She fell silent and looked around the room.
"Has anyone seen Yumiko?"--she looked at the others in the room with her--"she is here. I can feel her.""I will go find her." Tessai informed them as he turned from them again and started a path further into the shop.Sitting there in silence as she fed Kadaj, and waited to see if Tessai could find Yumiko. While waiting, Yoruichi snuck over by her and Sojiro and took a seat beside her."May I?" Yoruichi asked as she gestured at the cover over Kadaj. Kita smiled warmly at her and nodded. "Sure." Yoruichi slightly lifted the cover over the baby and Kita, careful not to reveal anything and embarrass Sojiro. She smiled lovingly at the beautiful bundle in his mother's arms. "I did not get to get a good look at him in the Soul Society." She looked up at Kita her smile still in place. "He looks just like you.""Do you think so?" Kita asked looking down at Kadaj. He stopped suckling and looked up at her. She watched as Yoruichi nodded and played with Kadaj's feet causing him to kick softly.Moved

Post by Urahara Kisuke on Jan 8, 2023 21:46:21 GMT -6
"Promises Kept": (continued) Kisuke, with his son, stepped into the living room. A wide smile across his lips as he adjusted his hat looking around the room. It was a few seconds later as Tessai and Yumiko stepped up behind him and Kenji. He gave Tessai a good firm handshake with a slight hug, patting him on the shoulder. "It's good to see you, Boss. Things were getting tense there.""Yes, they were. Sada and his damn clones were rather annoying." Kisuke commented. He reached for Yumiko giving her a tender squeeze. Looking across the room he smiled wide seeing Kita and his two grandsons.
He was about to make his way over to them when Yoruichi captured his hand in hers. Kisuke looked at her with another wide smile as he kissed her lips gently. He looked back over the room.
"I have news for everyone," Kisuke announced as he turned and looked at Yumiko and Tessai. "Take a seat. I want everyone to hear this." He gestured to Kenji and Yoruichi to join the others.
He was about to speak again when Kita cut him off."Wait. What about Gin? He has not made it here yet." "Kita--" "Don't you dare say it!" Kita growled at him, "he is alive. I know he is. We may not be able to feel his reiatsu, but I know--" Her heart clenched in her chest, tears pooling in her eyes. "Not after everything Aizen and Vale have put us through. He would never give up now."Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat over his eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. He did not know what to say he hoped she was right, but after what he witnessed in the battle. He was not to sure what to believe.

A bang sounded out from the direction of the front door as if something heavy had hit the ground before a tall figure in a tattered crimson kimono limped into the doorway behind Kisuke, looking solely at Kita. More blood dripped down a gash in his silver hair. Probably from the fall. But he had to get off the roof somehow. And he needed a good impact to get movement back in his limbs after such a battle. Or enticing dream/illusion. He didn’t really care which even when nothing changed around him. He just looked at the girl who made all of this silly journey possible. He leaned against the wall with his signature smirk across his face — despite one arm hanging uselessly at his side and one sleeve of his kimono empty. There was more blood on him than skin.
“Looking for someone, dearie~?” he croaked.
And as if on cue, everyone started going bonkers. Chuckling through a lung full of blood, Gin tilted sideways, his world spinning yet again.
Was someone screaming Misser Bean, or were more memories getting in the way of things?
What a pickle to be in.

Kisuke could not help a slight smirk to draw on his lips as he helped Gin over to the couch where Kita was sitting.
"Can you burp your little brother while I tend to your father?"
Sojiro nodded as he watched his mother adjusting herself under her haori from feeding Kadaj, she then handed Kadaj off to him.
"You've definitely seen better days, Gin." Kenji chuckled lightly as he stood and helped his father sit Gin on the couch.
"Hello, dearie," Gin smiled through bloody teeth after his greeting.
Kita smiled warmly at him shaking her head. "I will refrain from any kind of affection for you at the moment. I need to get you healed." She placed her hand on his left shoulder first. An arm that was apparently severed from the battle. She slowly let her healing powers flow through her to him reforming his arm and healing smaller issues along the way.
"Is that really necessary before a kiss?" he lisped. "It's kind of-" a rough cough tore through him, making him chuckle again, "expected, I think, here, at the end of the day."
She shook her head with a soft smile as she leaned into Gin giving his lips a peck.
"I can help, so it will not drain you so badly. After all, you have a little one you have to take care of tonight." Tessai offered as he stepped toward them to assist Kita in healing Gin.
"You said you had something to tell us, Urahara." Yumiko reminded him after all the commotion settled from Gin's appearance.
"Oh yes," Kisuke smiled warmly at her. "I am sure you're all wondering what is going on." He looked around the room as everyone looked on at him intently. "Well, you don't have to worry about Aizen being behind this." He paused for a brief second feeling the tension clear the room.
"So Kyoka Suigetsu was not released?" Tessai questioned.
"No. Well yes, but it was stopped."
"By who?" Kita questioned.
"Giichi. Mine and Aizen's father." Kisuke informed them. The room fell deafening, silent. Kisuke's head nodded slowly.
"So what happened?" Yoruichi asked.
"A few things. Good things. All but one." Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat. "Other than the illusion being stopped. Aizen was stripped of his powers and Kyoka Suigetsu was broken."
"But how did we get back home, and I am guessing everything was restored. Not just the shop, and what about everyone that was in the maze? We were not the only ones spared were we?" Kita had so many questions she wanted answers to.
Kisuke nodded. "Everyone that was involved in this mess was released and returned to their homes. Soul Society was restored as well as Karakura." He looked to Kita. "Aizen and the hollows--Ayakashi, and Espada alike--are no longer able to bother you. However, you can bring no harm to them either."
Kita giggled softly, "like I have the powers to do such a thing. But it's good to know they cannot bother me any longer."
"So what is the bad news in all of this?" Sojiro asked as his little brother burped in his ear.
"Giichi tethered mine and Aizen's powers. So as he grows stronger, I grow weaker." The room erupted in disapproval.

Post by Giichi on Jan 9, 2023 2:50:25 GMT -6
"Well, I don't think that's so bad." Giichi appeared in the center of the room occupied by the now silent group. He smiled, bowing his head slightly.
"Giichi." Kisuke adjusted his hat. "Here to deliver more news?"
Giichi nodded. "Because I do not have much time left, we'll start with topic on hand." He looked around the room. "For reasons I am sure I don't have to explain, I left out a detail or two regarding your tether." Giichi looked to his son. "Yes, as he grows stronger, you'll grow weaker. But, at some point, the scales must balance. Once his power has been restored, so will yours. From that point, the scales will remain balanced."
"What does that mean for Kisuke?" asked Yoruichi. "For us?"
It means, my dear Shihoin, that one of my sons will never be stronger than the other." Giichi's smile grew wide. "But, I have many sons...And, not all of them are Shinigami."
"I'm going to regret asking, but is there anything else?" Kisuke asked from beneath his hat. He looked up as the end of sheath tapped his chest. It was Tervaden's zanpakuto. "Right. And, just what did you do with him?" he asked, taking the zanpakuto from the god.
"He's in Hell." Giichi paused at the sound of gasps from two of the three women in the room. "Sealed and under the impression that he is powerless. Which is why I am giving this to you." Giichi handed the zanpakuto to Urahara. He turned on his heels, putting his back to those in the room. "One other thing." Giichi looked over his shoulder. "When I told you that everyone would be returned to the realm they called home...Well, your brother had the presence of mind to detach himself...from everything. He disappeared from the Hollow Realm shortly after I did."
"So, where is he?!" shouted Kita.
Giichi shook his head, a stern look on his face. "We don't know."
"We don't know?" questioned Kenji. "We...as in all of the gods? Because, that's pretty important. You let him outthink you and now he could be anywhere."
Giichi looked to his grandson. "There are three places that he isn't. The first is the Hollow Realm. In his current state, he would be devoured quickly. The second is Hell...Again, eaten."
"I am assuming that the third is the Godly Realm." Kisuke looked to the god. "Under normal circumstances, I would say that it would be true that he can't be there. It would require godly assistance. But, then again, none of us returned home under normal circumstances, did we?"
Giichi, suddenly feeling uncomfortable, narrowed his eyes at his son. And, without another word, disappeared leaving the group of Shinigami and Human alone.
