Yumiko gave a smile of her own at her best friend's reply. "I'm sorry. I didn't think it would be this long before I visited you, but..." she sighed, "I realized some things at the end of this war and I didn't want to burden you with them when you were already hurting. When you have a family to care for. How are the kids? Is Kenji getting any better?"
Kita sighed heavily, "my little brother hates me."
"Nonsense! Kenji could never hate his Nee-chan."
Kita's voice hiccuped, feeling tears sting her eyes. "He blames me for his parents not being there for him, and he is right. They have been so busy with what's going on with me they have not been paying attention to him."
"I'm sorry, Kita. He'll change his mind. He's got to. You're family, and you've been close since-" her throat closed up, "since he was small." She closed her eyes, fighting against a wave of nausea, reminded of the letter from her own brother. "Your family's different than mine. You need each other. Just- just give it time."
Kita gave a little giggle. "You sound like Juushiro when you say that."
Yumiko looked to her hands in her lap, her own eyes blurring with the threat of tears. "I- I hope it helps, and I really do hope he'll come around. I'm sorry I brought it up if it would hurt you."

Kita's head shook though Yumiko could not see it. "No, its nice to talk about it. Kisuke and Gin think I am over-reacting because I decided to stay away from the shop for a while, but I feel as if it will be the only way Kenji will feel that he has father and mother to himself."
"You're making a sacrifice for him. Hopefully, he realizes that after he's had some time with his real family. No one- none of us were allowed near him while we were in Las Noches. It's not his fault but it's not yours either."
"I am not so sure if he sees it that way. He was so angry at me, so accusing when he confronted me with this. It felt as if he ripped out my heart and crushed it right in my face." Kita sighed. "I just hope he can forgive me one day. I miss him as much as I miss you." She giggled softly.

Yumiko closed her eyes, swallowing back the stone in her throat. "I'm , I'm really sorry, Kita. I didn't mean to make you feel alone. I thought, I thought you would have enough support at the Shop. Or with your family. Is Soji alright?""Yumiko, I am not telling you this to make you feel bad. So please don't. I just need to be able to talk about it without someone telling me I am overreacting. I still have Gin, Sojiro, and little Kadaj. They are plenty and support me well." She smiled warmly remembering the scene upstairs in the bedroom. "And they are always finding ways to warm my heart even when they don't realize it.""That's good," Yumiko murmured. "I'm glad you have that, and I do want to visit it again. It's just not the right timing right now, but I wanted to hear from you, to talk to you, too. I'm, I'm tired of hurting others or hurting more. I hurt Ukitake. I broke up with Vale-""Wait, you what?" Kita exclaimed. Yumiko closed her eyes against the thudding of more pain in her temples. "I came over to visit a couple days ago. I thought I'd visit after I talked with him. Vale- Seto, he said he wanted to talk. I thought I could make it work despite everything, but as we talked...." The phone shook in her hands and she took a shuddery breath. "That's- that's the main reason I didn't visit after. He'd stay away from Kadaj and I don't want to take more away from him than I already have. He wouldn't confide in you or see him." Moved

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 445 "Downtime": (continued) Balancing the tray perfectly in one hand, the wine glasses in the other, Kita rounded the corner from the kitchen into the living room a playful look on her face. When she saw what Gin had done her smile changed into a smirk. Gin had moved the coffee table spreading a couple blankets out in front of the couch, the throw pillows that were on the couch, were now tossed onto the blanket for extra comfort along with a couple he'd stolen from the bedroom. He'd stolen some candles from the walls and shelves and lit them, setting them on the coffee table sitting to one side. Gin sat on floor lounging against the couch, kimono opening to show his toned chest. A couple flowers from the garden lay on the arm of the couch.
"I think I'm ready," he purred.Kita continued toward Gin, handing off the two wine glasses when she was close enough. Sitting the tray to an opening on the coffee table she lifted the wine bottle with the cork remover and handed them off to Gin next. While he opened the wine and poured them a glass, Kita served up the dessert. The two traded off as she handed him a bowl and spoon and he gave her a glass of wine.
She made herself comfortable on the floor before Gin and lifted her glass. "To a day spent together."

Gin set dessert on the couch and mimicked her. “To an hour or two not being woken by the small child in our house,” he agreed before taking a sip. He lowered his glass with the same sly grin on his face. “You know when you said you would be back, I didn’t know you had this kind of scheme in your head. I’m not quite sure what I did to deserve it.”
He turned slightly to dip the spoon in the cream and berries and offered her a bite.

"Do you have to do anything?" She leaned forward and took the bite he offered. "I just wanted to spend time alone with you. It's not like we get this opportunity everyday." She lifted a berry from her bowl with her fingers and put it in her mouth licking at her fingertips.
Gin's gaze turned soft as he caught her fingers. "You know, dearest, some of your friends don't know what to think of you now that the war is over, but it's moments like these when I'm reassured that your heart did survive," he licked a finger and then kissed the back the hand, "much more than you or they believe."
Kita got a sincere look as she looked down at her glass of wine, "I know it's there," She looked back up at Gin, "I just need moments like these to push back the hurt and darkness to remind me. The kids help with that a lot, but I don't just want the kids to be part of that. If we are going to remain a couple we need to start building on a normal life and be a couple. Instead of a protector and a lost scared child."

“A lost scared child,” Gin mused after. He scooped up some more cream. “To be honest, that child grew up a long time ago. When she had to protect what mattered to her because her protector disappeared.” He offered her the spoon. “When she accepted that she would go back to protect all her friends, not only the crafty protector who stood at her side or their children."
She excepted the bite, "So you see it that way," Kita smiled at him moving closer, dipping her fingers into her bowl she took up a berry between her fingers and gently pressed it to Gin's lips. "People still see you as my Master and me as your pet."
Gin licked her fingers as he ate the berry. "There are times we fall back to that dynamic, that's true enough. It is our beginning, and I won't deny it. But that is more than the setup it started as." He tilted his head to catch the juice dripping down, following it to her wrist. "It gives us strength when we were failing. And if that were all there was to our little relationship, I don't think you or I would have nearly lost our minds after that night." He kissed the pulse point there. "When everything spiraled out of control.
"When we almost lost."

"We lost many battles in the war," she lifted another berry from her bowl and lifted it to her lips. "I'm just glad we won the war." She took the berry between her lips, but before she could take it in her mouth Gin's hand slid behind her head and trapped her lips against his. The berry was crushed, the juices trailed between their lips. Pulling back Kita let her tongue slide across Gin's bottom lip. She retrieved another berry and slid it between Gin's lips then pressed her lips to his in an open mouth kiss. Their tongues sliding against one another the berry flavoring their kiss, first sweet then tart.
Kita pulled back slightly as berry juice trickled down from the corner of Gin's mouth, she moved in and lick the juice away as she hummed softly. "Mmmm." Her lips pressed against his once more.

A low growl emitted from Gin’s throat as he pursued the kiss between them, savoring the sweet and sour flavors. The hand on the back of her head tangled in her hair. He held her there, prolonging the moment and the contact, the echo of her heartbeat in his ears and the little pants against his lips. She was always so honest with him. From the beginning. It had been so frustrating and had turned so beautiful.
He let her pull back and leaned down to suck on her neck.
"We did, and is this what you wanted when you thought of the war ending?"
He nipped at the joint between the jaw and neck.

Kita pushed up keeping her eyes locked with Gin's and moved toward him. Slow she straddled him setting on his legs, her hand caressing his warm tone chest. "I have always," her eyes were still locked with his. "wanted a family." She smiled warmly as she let her hands caress around to his sides.
"But I think you knew that." She softly kissed his lips, pulling back and looking into his eyes.
Gin like this game. Grinning. He decided to play dumb. "Yes, I do seem to recall you saying something like that," he teased. "What does that have to do with little ol' me?"
Kita pouted at the man before her, then decided to turn the tables, hiding the smirk that tugged at the corners of her lips. "Well...I still want that family, so..." her head tipped to one side as she gave him an innocent look. "Maybe..."
Gin looked at her with a raised brow, "yes~"
"You can help me find a guy I could build that family with." She gave his lips another quick soft kiss.

Gin's second eyebrow rose at the same time as his hand at her waist clenched instinctually. He was equally parts annoyed and amused, ready to pin her beneath him and yet aware of the game between them. A moment later, the hand clenching around her waist lifted up, playing up along her spine as his head tilted, smirking. He wouldn't be the first to lose.
"So," he purred, letting his fingers continue, "what sort of man would suit the woman that helped save the worlds?" His eye glittered as he resisted the urge to snicker. "Prince Charming~?"

Kita drew back quickly blinking a few times. "I would eat a guy like that alive."
Gin's signature grin crossed his lips.
"I need a guy that can put up with my attitude, someone that can keep me in line, someone that will love me and the kids just as much as we love them and..." she leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "someone that can keep me sexually entertained." She pulled back slowly letting her lips brush against his ear and cheek. "Someone like..." she hummed and tapped her fingertip against he lips, her eyes looking upward in thought.
Suddenly she looked back at Gin with a wide smile across her lips. "Someone like Izuru! We got along great and he loves Sojiro to death." she hummed again. "I wonder what he is like in the bedroom." She could not hold back the huge grin that threatened to take over her lips.

Gin blinked. Of all the guys she could choose for this, she had to choose his former lieutenant, one of the only people he cared about outside of their little family unit. Kita’s grin only grew the longer he stayed quiet, her eyes twinkling. He needed to come up with something.
Well, at the very least, Izuru was no threat to him.
“What an interesting choice, dearie, but I’m afraid if you want a challenge in the bedroom, he might not be the right one for you. He blushes every time you mention drunken nights with him.”
The fox ignored the twinge at that detail and moved on. After all, this kind of mischief was something she’d enjoy as much as Kita.
Kita tilted her head at him, still grinning. “Are you sure? He didn’t blush when I asked him the last time. Maybe he got some experience since you last spoke to him. I mean, he is used to your games but not mine.”
Again, Gin’s smirk faltered. Precious moments ticked away.
She giggled as she sat perched on his lap.
He rallied. “I’m still not sure he could keep up with someone as vain as you, dearest siren~”

Kita sighed and thought to herself, well that didn't get the affected I was looking for, "Well...there is always Hisagi. He's been sweet on me for a while now, he can handle my attitude, he's proved he can keep me in line, and I am sure he can return the kids' and my love, tenfold. Not to mention," She grinned remembering that time she was hiding out in the Soul Society.
"I know what he is like in the bedroom, and not to brag on him," a smirk drew across her lips. "He's pretty damn good!"
"Oh, is he?" Gin purred afterwards, regaining his bearings with the change of attack. He didn't know what to do with her previous line of attack. His fingers wrapping in her hair again and tugged her forward with ease. "So you think he's a keeper, do you?"
As she was pulled closer to Gin she tipped her head slightly eye locked on his, "I do have another I believe would work."
"Oh," Gin continued slowly pulling her towards him.
"Mhmm, but I don't think he is ready for family life. He has lived alone for decades and is not good at letting people in. He's a bit of a trickster, can be a little dominant at times and some say he couldn't commit even if it meant his life." Her lips brushed against his.

Gin hummed as she spoke on, inching closer to her and grin turning soft as she gave her telling statement. He let their lips touch for a moment before pulling back just enough to pick up the spoon again. “You know what I think, dearie?” he murmured, dipping into the dessert again.
“What?” she inquired, trying to kiss him again and giggling when he got the cream on her chin and nose instead. “Gin!”
“Careful, beautiful,” the fox purred, tilting her head back to lick at the strip on her chin, down to her jaw and then back up, “if you move too much it will get in your hair. I prefer skin~”
She moaned and grabbed a handful of his kimono.
Gin nipped at the corner of her lip and leaned towards her. “I think we’re surrounded by a bunch of nosy idiots and they don’t get to decide. That’s not the right question.” He moved her head again and licked her nose, ignoring the cream that got on his own lips. “What do you think about this sly gentleman? Is he good for you?”
Kita purred softly as he licked away the cream, "Heart, mind, soul, and body." When his grip eased she looked back into his eyes. "I think the world of him, and want him by my side til the end of time."
Gin traced her lips with his fingers, slowly cupping her rosy cheek. "You think too highly of this man, Kita, and always have, but maybe, just maybe he will try to do something about that." He embraced her, lips finding hers, no longer settling for the game, tasting as much of her sweetness as she could give him.
