Yoruichi crossed one arm over her chest and placed her other hand on her chin. She shook her head slowly in disbelief. "So Aizen managed to make his way to the godly realm..."
She sighed and moved her hand to her forehead. "Not that we can do anything about it, but that is worrisome."
"But he didn't actually say he was there." Sojiro patted Kadaj's back gently. He looked to Kisuke. "You said they returned everyone to their realms. Shouldn't Aizen be in Soul Society then?"
"Yes but... Giichi also just told us that Aizen abandoned his ties to any realm," Kisuke pulled his hat down over his eyes with a grunt. "I don't think he would have gone there unless he planned on fighting off all of the Gotei without Kyoka Suigetsu."
"His power goes beyond his Zanpakuto, though," Tessai hummed in concern. "And even if the Soul Society is restored, its forces are not. Shinigami are injured, missing, or dead. If he did go to Soul Society of his own accord, maybe he decided his chances were good even without Kyoka Suigetsu."
"Even so... Giichi's expression when I called him and the other gods out... It seems they're worried he's taken up residence in their backyard," Kisuke redirected.
"Then let's assume that he is there, and hope that he isn't," Yoruichi said gave a firm nod. "We're all licking our wounds right now. Let's hope he's doing the same. And if he is in the gods' realm and they find him, then hopefully they will deal with him permanently."

"They won't deal with him, as you say. They see Aizen as a necessary evil. Why do you think they only weakened him? If anyone should be in hell it should be my brother. Not Vale," he pushed Vale's sword forward. "And look who got the short end of the stick."
Kisuke shook his head, "Don't get me wrong. Vale has done some pretty devious things in his time, and using a God's powers seems pretty insignificant compared to Aizen' s long list of things over the centuries."

Kenji shook his head. He looked to Kita and Tessai as they worked on Gin. His hand and arm had been reformed. But, he was still in bad shape.
“Let’s not forget his history, dad. He did manage to kill nearly every member of his squad when he was a Captain. But, I agree. All of that is very small compared to what Aizen’s done.” Kenji stroked his goatee as he fell deep in thought.
“I think you should go to Soul Society, dad. See what’s going on there. And, you may want to share this bit of information from the gods.”

Kita nodded at Kenji's comment. She did not take her eyes from her healing of Gin. She only moved her healing powers to more severe injuries as she spoke.
"I'm sure they're as confused as we first were."
"Someone definitely needs to go calm the masses. I am sure they think this is an illusion of Aizen's. Also," she looked over at Kisuke.
"We need to find Vacanze. I have yet to pick up on his reiatsu."

"I am sure he is fine, Kita. Vacanze has nothing to fear from the other hallows and Espada. It was Aizen that wanted his head for what took place with him. The other residents of Las Noches could care less."
"I hope you're right," Kita expressed with a sigh, continuing her healing on Gin as his right arm was healed as well. "You are a mess. Once we are done here it's the shower for you." She plainly informed Gin taking a closer look at the mess his clothing was in.
Gin gave her one of his signature smiles. "You're joining me, right?"
Kisuke cleared his throat a fisted hand lifted in front of his mouth. "I think it best with the shape you're in Gin you leave that part of your life in neutral."
"I am feeling much better. Like I always do after a lengthy healing session with Kita." Gin gave a carefree wave of his hand. "Plus, I have been in worst shape and was still able--"
Three people in the room exclaimed cutting Gin off as they motioned nonchalantly to Sojiro. Kisuke only slid his hat down over his eyes. "Just behave tonight, Gin. Alright?" Gin only gave him that crazy smile of his and sat back so Kita and Tessai could finish with him.

Yumiko managed a weak giggle as Gin used his relationship to lighten the mood but couldn’t manage to maintain it. She lowered her head to her lap. She was still wearing the white flowing kimono Kita had lent her in the Godly realm, thankfully without the red obi she had decorated her uniform with as Aizen’s mistress. Still in colors from Las Noches. Where all this disaster had begun and where she had once again chosen to stay because of a certain man.
Vale. Now stuck in Hell. Without his son.
Yumiko knew she couldn’t do anything to rescue him from that place. Just as she couldn’t fulfill the bargain Alister set forth to free him from the darkness. She didn’t have the strength for that journey. If she could do that, maybe she could have used her position at Aizen’s side to lessen the consequences instead of slip further into her personal oblivion. Instead, she surrendered and turned a blind eye. And even there, she couldn’t stay on one path. Maybe she really was the disaster that some in Las Noches called her — before she gave in. Yumiko’s stomach clenched and she rose from her chair.
“I’ll see what state the kitchen is,” she mumbled.
They deserved to celebrate. She didn’t want to get in the way.

Yoruichi turned to see Yumiko sulking away to the kitchen. She gave Kisuke a quick peck on the cheek. "I will go with her. I shudder to think of the state the pantry and fridge is in." She gave Kita a gentle hug and patted Sojiro's back on her way towards the kitchen. "You all relax. We've all been through the wringer. Make good of our moment of peace."
She disappeared into the kitchen to speak with Yumiko, leaving the others in the living room.

Kisuke nodded at Yoruichi and spoke softly, "Be gentle with her you know how she was when she was here last time."
Yoruichi nodded in return, "Only this time is seems to be Tervaden that she is worried about."
Kisuke hummed in agreement as he leaned in a gave his lover a kiss. Once she had gone Kisuke turned to the last few in the room.
"I think I am going to go look in on my lab." He nodded confirming his comment. Adjusting his hat he turned and started a path to his lab.
Though he did not get far when he heard Kenji call out to him, to wait up.

Kita and Tessai continued healing Gin, Sojiro rocking Kadja as he slept soundly in his arms.
"Mom," Sojiro called to her quitly so not to wake his little brother. "Where should I lay Kadaj down?"
Kita did not know what to say as she turned slightly and looked at her boys. She remembered they had Sojiro's bassinet from back when he was a baby, but that was 14 years ago and alot has happened since then. As she thought of what to do with the infant for the evening, Tessai spoke up.
"If it's still in storage, the bassinet that belonged to Sojiro should work wonderfully."
"If not we can makeshift a bed for him next to my bed--"
Gin cleared his throat cutting her off. "Our. Bed."
Kita looked at Gin from Tessai, repeating him. "--our, bed. For the eveving and find a bed for him tomorrow."
Tessai chuckled lightly at the two. "Do you want me to go look and help Sojiro get Kadja ready for bed if I do not find it?"
Kita nodded. "That would be wonderful if you would Tessai." She looked at Gin seeing most of his injuries were healed. At least the more serious ones were."I can finish up here. Not much more to do and the less serious injuries can heal on their own."
"You've gotten cruel in your years, dearie." Gin commented. "I remember back in the days you would heal me to perfection."
Kita looked to the man she loved, a smirk across her lips. " And I remember back in the day when you were smart enough to pick and choose your battles wisely." Her head tipped to one side her brows rising a knowing looking in her eyes. "A few aches and pains might remind you how stupid it was to take on Sada. AGAIN."
Tessai lifted from the couch chuckling lightly. "I will let you finish."
"Thank you,Tessai." Kita replied as he walked from the couch to go find the bassinet for Kadja to sleep in. He only nodded as Sojiro then stood to follow him off.
"Soji. Once you have Kadja settled, I want you to get you something to eat."
"Alright Mom." He commented leaving the room with Tessai.
Kita turned back to Gin, he was looking straight at her a genuine smile across his lips. His hand lifted as he caressed the back of his fingers across her cheek.
"Did you miss me?"

Gin chuckled and cupped her face in his hands, not caring about the blood that still covered him. “That’s a foolish question, dearie. I always miss you, even when I’m half insane.” He lowered his head to her lips and kissed her.
Her smile grew as they parted. “Only half insane?”
Gin’s lips lifted into his signature smirk. “Is that a trick question?” He set his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. “And I’ll tangle with that creature as many times as I want until he stays away from what’s mine.”
She giggled. “Then I should just leave you with injuries until you learn your lesson.”
“If I learned my lesson, we’d never be here today,” Gin murmured without his usual teasing. He moved back, still caressing her cheek, eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed into her eyes. He stayed silent, soaking in the moment of peace, worrying about the scars underneath that smile.

Kita smiled brightly at him as she finished purifying his blood, removing what remained of Sada’s poison. Slowly she drew back her hands letting them rest in her lap. “If what Kisuke says is true that means we are finally free.”
Her smile widened, a mix of sadness and joy on her face as she looked on at Gin. “Your promise has been kept. You got us out of there.” She paused afraid to ask her next question, scared of the answer he might give her.
She looked down at her hands in her lap as she started fidgeting with the material of her dress as she mumbled softly. “What will you do now?”

“Not sure I did much of anything to get any real credit about this twist in our situation,” Gin murmured, running a hand through the drying blood in his hair and leaning back on the couch. His slitted eyes remained on Kita as her eyes remained down, still fiddling with her garment. An imperceptible frown touched his lips.
“Well, first thing to do is get you out of that dreary uniform,” Gin quipped, waving his newly healed hand when she looked up at him again. “White’s not really your color, dearie, and we have enough scars between us without flaunting them.”
Kita giggled softly as she lifted the skirt slightly and let it fall to her lap. “Well then I guess it’s a good thing I won’t be wearing white when I get married.” She stood and offered her hand to Gin. “Let’s go get you cleaned up and I guess I need to do the same. Between healing the injured and running and hiding from my favorite Eapada today, it wouldn’t hurt.”
"No, I don't think it will," Gin mused, letting her start to pull him up before taking over and wrapping his arms around her, burying his face in her hair right by her ear. "It will be alright, dearest, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here as long as you want me to." He set her down again. "And probably when you don't. I'm tricky like that~"

Shaking her head she stayed sitting, “Your not getting any cleaner by sitting here.” She paused for a second then ask, “is there something you want to talk about?”
Gin shook his head, still wearing his normal grin. "Not right now. I have what I need." His lips softened into a genuine smile for a moment. "Perhaps later when I'm not covered in blood and you're ready."
She tipped her head to one side and looked at him slightly confused. “When I’m ready?” She giggled softly. “Since I have met you and been to Las Noches, I am always ready. That’s how you conditioned me to be.”
"Not for this, you're not," Gin chuckled, flicking her in the forehead. "Trust me and stay curious for a little longer. You'll thank me for it later. If I'm right, that is. And if I'm not, I'm sure I'll pay for such a miscalculation. Not to mention, if you keep asking, you'll still be dirty by the time your new kid's hungry again. Aren't they always crying at that age?"
”No,” she giggled softly and stood once more. “But you will learn all about your new step son now won’t you?” She turned away from him and started a path toward the stairs. “Are you coming, or am I taking a shower alone?”

“Now that’s the most foolish thing you said all night~” Gin purred, following her. “I don’t even let you take showers alone over there even if there were consequences for it. What makes you think that I will do it here when we’re free again?” His smile softened with her laughter.
Gin’s eyes glittered from underneath his bangs even as his amusement faded into the back of his mind after distracting her yet again. However, he couldn’t help but wonder if these little moments that remained would be enough. For the girl who had become a woman in the midst of the final clash. Or for the outcast who had cast all aside and somehow created a family through the crimes and bloodshed. When the curtain rose, when the tears fell over the destruction and dead, would they make more sacrifices to let the new era start? Gin couldn’t protect her from the shadows from the inevitable backlash. Even if he wanted to. He had taken everything from Kita to reach this point several times over, and when it all calmed down, those crimes would come back to haunt her from the beginning. Would she still want him? Would it be good for Sojiro and the new little one? Did he actually keep that promise or did it fall apart? He didn’t know, but he’d wait in the shadows.
He couldn’t walk away from the future this time.
Not unless that was to be his final punishment.- End RP -

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: Deep RenewalEpisode 323 "Emotionally Drained": It was the middle of the day, three days later when Kita and Tessai returned home. They were both exhausted physically, but beyond that Kita's emotional statute was just as drained. With the talk she had with Toshiro about Rangiku and then the whispers and glares she experienced--from not just the residents of the Seireitei but the Gotei members as well--she was not sure she could handle one more whisper or sneer behind her back. She had to get away from it and the sooner the better. It was only a few minutes later that they entered the gate that they were exiting on the other side in Karakura. Not just hearing someone in the house, but feeling their reiatsu when they stepped from the Senkaimon, Yoruichi stepped out of the kitchen, drying her hands on a towel. "You're back early," Yoruichi commented, she flipped one end of the towel over her shoulder as it rested there. Her attention moved from Tessai to Kita. She had dark rings under her eyes. Her cheeks were chaffed, her eyes red and puffy."Hm," Tessai hummed, his head gesturing to Kita. "I will go make tea." Tessai then disappeared into the kitchen.Yoruichi watched as Kita walked over to the couch and sat down. "So-- I am guessing things were a little rough in the Seireitei?""From the get-go," Kita responded. "I don't know which one was worst. The looks, the whispers, or them right out calling me a killer, or a murderer." Kita's hand lifted covering her face as she started to weep. "A little old lady called me a baby killer."Yoruichi sighed as her hand rubbed across Kita's back from shoulder to shoulder. "Kyoraku and the others that were there with you will set them straight." She fell silent as Kita continued to cry. Suddenly Yoruichi spoke again a little more chipper tone.
"You know what," she stood and lifted Kita with her, "why don't you go upstairs, get a hot bath and relax? When the tea is done one of us will bring it up to you, and I will let the boys know you're back when they come up from the training grounds."Kita nodded slowly as Yoruichi turned her and gave her a soft shove toward the stairs. At the staircase, Kita turned and called out to Yoruichi. "Where is Kadaj?""In the master bedroom. He is napping at the moment. When he wakes I will bring him up to you." Yoruichi gave her a warm smile. "Now go," she shooed her off as she turned and entered the kitchen where Tessai was.Kita gave a small smile as she turned and started up the stairs to her and Gin's room.Moved |
