Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 442 “Difficulty”: (continued) Vacanze lit up like a light when he laid eyes on his jewel. He quickly released the boy and made a quick path toward Kita. Standing in front of her, he wrapped her in his arms and hugged her tightly. "You--are a sight for sore eyes, my jewel." He softly kissed the top of her head as he held her against him."Vacanze," Kita grunted as his arms tightened around her. "Human. Fragile."Vacanze quickly released her as she gasped for air. Both his hands were on her arms as he lowered himself to her eye level. "Sorry babe," he kissed her on her forehead. "I missed you so much. I just got a little overzealous.""Might want to pull back on those reins fireball, or the old man might put you in a hurt lock. He's been a little more than overprotective with her." Kisuke explained as he ruffled his grandson's silver locks. "Excited about your first day at school?" Sojiro shrugged and patted his staticky hair down. "Meh," he murmured, "unless we do something fun in chemistry, I don't think the first day will be much fun."Vacanze turned and quickly looked at Kisuke and the boy, "So your grandson is taking after you, but your son is off the beaten path?"

Kisuke shrugged, "Kenji is a little on the science path, not too sure if he will follow it, or not." He pulled his attention from Vacanze back to Sojiro, "Well if you do get to do something fun in chemistry don't blow up the school," he winked at his grandson, "much."
"Kisuke!!' Kita scolded. "Don't tell him that."
Sojiro tilted his head to the side, blinking as if recalling something from the past. "Looks like I might get to blow something up in school before Kenji. We were too young when we talked about the possibility back then."
"Sojiro Miyamoto-Ichimaru!" Kita shrieked. "Don't you dare go doing anything dangerous!"
Sojiro flinched at her tone as the other two snickered.
Kisuke chuckled looking at his grandson, "smells like breakfast is finished," his hand patted Sojiro's shoulder. "Why don't you go grab a bite before it gets cold." Kisuke gave a side glance to his mother. "Plus, I need to talk to your mother in private." He looked to Vacanze next and motioned for him to follow the boy.
As the two walked off toward the kitchen--acting like a couple of 10-year-olds, Kisuke gestured toward the couch. "Let's sit."
Kita looked to Kisuke slightly confused. "Is there something wrong?" Kita sat on the couch, Kisuke sitting next to her with a heavy sigh.
"I have something I want to ask of you," he adjusted his hat to look Kita in the eyes. "It's something important, and I know the request will be very hard on you, but I want you to think about this. Because if we don't get answers we will be walking into this blind, and that could be very dangerous for everyone."
Kita's head tilted slightly, "What do you want me to do Kisuke?"
Kisuke exhaled, "I want you to heal Aizen."

Kita shot up off the couch, her eyes wide and filled with anger. "No! Not just no, but Hell no! Let the bastard die. We don't need answers from Aizen. Seto went to talk to Koga he will let us know what is happening."
"Kita," Kisuke spoke her name as he stood from the couch only to have Kita turn her back on him and walk away.
"I won't do it, Kisuke." She spun back and looked at him, "and I can't believe you had the nerve to come here and ask me to do this."
Kisuke sighed heavily covering his eyes with his hat.
Gin set a hand on Kita's shoulder from the other side of the couch as he looked to the shopkeeper with his lowered head. "Why are you asking, shopkeep? You know this is likely the only chance we have at taking him down."
He leaned down, over Kita, lowering his voice. "How scared are you about the change in the Hogyoku?"
Kita looked at Gin, "it rejected Aizen. Again. What is so bad about that, and if Szayel's creation did absorb it. It won't stay with him long. He is worse than Aizen. The Hogyoku will see that soon enough and leave him as well."

“If it were that simple, the bauble wouldn’t have made him a near god in the first war,” her lover muttered, still watching the shopkeeper, the first creator of that terrible ball of chaos. How many lives did it take to create his? Was it as hungry in the beginning as it seemed to be now? Gin had watched Aizen shape both nightmares and miracles with the Hogyoku. He had nearly died at Aizen's hands because it woke up at the very cusp of his victory. He could never dismiss it. They needed more information from its creator and he would get it before he considered any step forwards. Behind him Sojiro and Vacanze continued their games at the table. It would be easy to let Aizen suffer for everything now, but nothing was ever easy without a price.
What was their price?
“We don’t have a lot of time before Sojiro gets curious, Urahara. Answer the question.”

"I don't know what is happening with the Hogyoku. The last time it rejected Aizen I found it lying lifeless on the battlefield. I have never seen it do what it did yesterday. I don't know if it was the doings of the Hogyoku or the one it took on as its master." Kisuke sighed.
"I just know that bastard of a brother of mine had it inside of him for decades. If it were growing more intelligent, he would know better than any of us," he sighed, "and if he dies, we will never know and won't be prepared for the devastation it could wreck over us."
"And what happens if the Hogyoku is turning into our worst nightmare?" Kita's head shook as she gestured to herself, her hand pressed to the center of her chest. "I can't stop it. I am nowhere near that strong."
Gin lifted a hand to her lips, covering it with one finger. "Then we let others be the main heroes and tear up who we can. Simple, dearie."
Kisuke dragged his hand down his face with a heavy sigh, "if the Hogyoku is evolving it is going to take all of us," he paused and looked pointedly at Kita and Gin. "That's Karakura, Soul Society, and Las Noches inhabitants to stop it." His eyes darted to Kita. "We might even need Sumi."

Kita shook her head. "This just keep going from bad to worse. First you want me to heal Aizen and now you want me to invite Sumi back. You got some nerve asking me to do any of this after everything me and Gin had to go through just to get us where we are today."
Gin's eyes narrowed as he shook his head. "I agree with her, Urahara. Healing Aizen and me thrusting a hole into him after he spills the beans is one thing, but we're not bringing the goddess back. That door's closed and good riddance. There will be another answer without bringing that suffering back."
"I don't know what we are going to have to do, but without answers--which means healing Aizen to get them--we will never know what we have to do. If we have to do anything at all." Kisuke looked at Kita pointedly. "Heal him, Kita. Let us get the answers we need and then I promise you I will hand him over to Kyoraku to shove his ass back into the Muken."
Kita sighed as she looked up at Gin, her eyes asking him what she should do. She knew what she wanted to do, but even that would get them nowhere in this mess. "I don't know what to do." She shook her head, "that's a lie. I know what my head is telling me to do and then I have my heart telling me to do the right thing," she sighed, "and that is to save the asshole."

“What’s the right thing to do is shove his dying ass into the Muken and let him rot,” Gin replied, tilting her head back up. “That would be vengeance and justice, well and deserved.” He kissed her before continuing. “However, you’ve been a part of this game almost for half your lifetime now, so as much as you would love to do that, you know that it’s more important to think before you act. And the only way we get our rest is with the information in that bastard’s head. Without it, your nightmares of what may come to pass will eat you alive.”
She sighed again and tilted her head into his hand. “What about you? Will your nightmares stop?”
Gin chuckled and pressed his forehead against hers, for a moment forgetting about the shopkeeper waiting for an answer. “You’re the answer to that, Kita. Every time. Even when you don’t know it.”
Whether or not I can tell you everything.

Kita smiled brightly at the love of her life and kissed the tip of his nose. "Have I told you today, how much I love you?"
Gin grinned. "Not today, but it's a treat to hear it every time." He cupped her face in his hands, lifting her head more, causing her to tiptoe slightly as he pressed his lips to hers in a tender kiss.
Clearing his throat as he entered the room, Vacanze looked at the three occupying the living room. "Sorry," Vacanze replied as Gin and Kita broke from the kiss and looked his way. "Didn't mean to break up the fun," he grinned at them, "but I promise you can get right back to the fun as soon as we are out of here."
Kita gave him a confused look, "you're leaving already?"
"I am going to walk to school with Sojiro. Get the boy out of here before he starts asking questions." Vacanze told them. "I'm sure I will see you at the shop later." He winked at Kita. "If not, you know I'll be back, my jewel."
Gin wrapped his arms around Kita, setting his head on her shoulder. "Why don't you swing back here after you take Soji in? Or maybe after you see your own girl. You might have some puzzle pieces for us after all."
Kita looked at Gin confused, "What could Vacanze know about this?"

"Well, dearie, when it seems that something is stirring in Las Noches or Hueco Mundo at large, I'd like my angles covered. Even if Seto did go to a bird for information, I don't fancy his riddles. Vacanze here was shoved back there a couple times now, and he's an Ayakashi. The Hollows are somewhat creatures of instinct, so he may know something we don't."
He waved a hand. "But let's deal with that after Soji's gone and after the trash is taken out."

Vacanze chuckled looking at Gin, "I think you might be reaching on this one. I don't know shit. I didn't stick around long enough to learn anything. The first chance I had to get out I did. I was not looking for confrontation. I just wanted to get back to my family."
Kita smiled at Vacanze, "Well we're very happy to see you back, Vacanze."
"V-man if you're walking to school with me we need to get out of here," Sojiro claimed walking into the living room.
Vacanze nodded as he looked over at the boy walking toward him, his attention turning back to his parents. "Looks like we're outta here." He gave a two-finger salute to the three. "I will stop back by, Ichimaru, but only after I go see my girl and the family."

Gin shrugged from his comfortable position. "Well, it was worth a shot, but I wasn't counting on it completely." He waved a hand as his son came in, eyebrow raised at he gathering. "Behave yourself as well as I would over there~"
Kita giggled and elbowed him. "He better be better than you or you will pay the price, lover."
"And I'd enjoy it, so why wouldn't I encourage him?"
As his mother blushed in his father's arms, Sojiro looked away. "Okay, definitely time to go. Come on, V-man."
"Just behind you," Vacanze called out, saluting them one more time.
Gin waited until the two exited. "So when do you want to do this, dearie? Today, tomorrow, a week from now?"

Kisuke watched the couple as they had their exchange. He held his breath and remained silent hoping for the answer he wanted as he looked pointedly at Kita. She sighed and cast her eyes down. Only to have Gin lift her head to look into his eyes once more.
"This is your choice," Gin told her.
Kita sighed again her head nodding. "I will do it and with it being Sada's poison in his bloodstream I need to do it as soon as possible."
Kisuke exhaled loudly a pleased look on his face. "Thank you, Kita."

Kita looked away from Gin to Kisuke, her eyes narrowed. "Once he is healed and you have your answers he is to be taken to Soul Society and locked away permanently."
"As soon as," Kisuke agreed, "I promise you that."
"Well then, let's get this over with," Gin declared, standing upright again. "Do you want me to come with you or watch the little one?"
"Do you have anything you want to say to him?"
Gin scoffed. "I've discarded any notion of that over the last war, Kita. I'll come with you if you want, but there's nothing that I need to say to move on."
Kita did not want to wake Kadaj, so she decided it would be best for Gin to stay at the house. She tiptoed up and gently pressed her lips to Gin's. "I should not be long. I have nothing to say to the man either, so I am healing him and leaving as soon as his eyes open." She smiled warmly at Gin. "When I get back I will make us lunch and we can spend a little alone time together."
Gin smirked down at her. "Well now, what a reward for ignoring the trash. I approve~" He looked to the shopkeeper. "Don't let him slip from your fingers, Kisuke. We all want this rest, even you."
"He's not going anywhere. While Kita is healing him, I will be contacting Soul Society."
"Good, let's hope this time they keep him there." Kita retorted.
She turned back to Gin and kissed him again. "Hopefully no more than an hour." She kissed him once more, then moved to whisper in his ear. "I will be thinking of the fun we will be having when I return." Kita turned so to leave with Kisuke, only to be grabbed by Gin and quickly turned to face him once more.

"Make sure you do, Kita. He deserves no more of your thoughts, and if does get in your head," he pulled her close, tilting her head back to kiss her ear, "I'll take him out, one step at a time, whether it be with your sweet moans, your pleasant trembles, or your delectable juices." He pulled back and grinned at the darkened gaze on her. "Can't jump me yet, siren. Heal the trash and come back running~" Kita didn't trust her voice and pulled him down to nip his lips. "I'll - I'll do it." "Good girl," he purred. He stroked her lips. "This will be the final time." Kita nodded again, smiling despite her heady daze. "I love you." Gin's eyes flickered as he returned it, giving a wave. "Shoo now~"- END RP - “To Live or Die”

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 445 "Downtime": (continued) The second Kita's feet hit the landing at the bottom of the stairs she heard a ringing and a dull vibrating sound. She quickly put her hand over her pocket realizing it was not her iPhone. Looking around the room confused she finally realized what she was hearing. She quickly darted across the room and opened the desk drawer. The soul phone she was given, was dancing across the bottom of the drawer from the vibrations when it rang.
She picked it up quickly and looked at it. "Who could be calling? No one has this number but Kyoraku and Dr. Kusumoto, but why would they be calling me?" She flipped open the phone to answer it. "Hello," her tone puzzling.A slightly hoarse voice carried over. "Hi, Kita, it's Yumiko. I'm sorry for the abrupt call. I, I wanted to call you because I wouldn't be coming to Karakura for a while. So I asked Ukitake for a soul phone. I hope that's okay." Kita smiled brightly upon hearing her best friend's voice. "Not at all. In fact, I wish you would call more. I really miss sitting and talking to you, and I understand about you not coming to visit. We all have to take care of ourselves. Some more than others." Kita paused for a brief second her voice now concerned. "How are you doing, Yumiko?"
