Aizen paid no mind to Vale or his daughter when they left. Their actions had taken their toll, he continued his path to the bathroom to retrieve Yumiko.
He knocked, opening the door. "Finish your shower and get dressed. I will be waiting for you out here. Do not procrastinate I am in no mood."
He closed the door leaving her to her own.

Yumiko sighed as the door closed once again, leaving her alone. She stayed like that for a moment before dropping the towel and moving to the shower again. She turned it back on and let the calming rush of water soothe her head and body, washing away the soap and shampoo. She turned around and arched her head to better clean her hair then turned it off, opening the door. She dried herself off in a methodical manner, wringing her hair out then letting it fall around her as it wanted to.
She exited the bathroom a few minutes later, holding her kimono closed. Silently, she passed Aizen and went to her bed, retrieving the belt. Tying it around her, she turned to face him, combing a stray lock of hair out of her face.

Aizen rose from the chair he was occupying and walked toward her. "You will be staying in my room until the wall is repaired." Yumiko started to shake her head as he grabbed her chin. "There will be no debating of this fact."
He released her and pushed her firmly toward the door. He then turned and picked up her zanpakuto following in behind her as she walked toward the door of her room.

Yumiko walked ahead, shoulders stiff as the weight of his gaze fell on her and her zanpakuto stayed in his hand. She stayed silent, worrying at her lip. Then calmed. She had been truthful when she had admitted that she could not resist the pull he had over her body. After so many nights with him, both before and after her memories had been returned to her, it just wasn’t possible for her at this moment. However, if she could keep her heart away from him, she could fight the rest of his control. She had to. She would not lose herself to the seductive dark dream of his person and his realm. As they approached his rooms, she composed herself, and entered, not flinching as he set his hand back on her waist. She let herself close her eyes and surrender. Hoping her resolution would last as long as she was bound even closer to his side. Even as he kept Mizue that night …. |

"Without Emotions":Vale stood in front of Yumiko's room, contemplating whether to knock or to walk away. He held Mizue in one hand and adjusted his eye patch with the other. Move, damn it. Move. It's not that fucking hard. Just move. Orihime's words did nothing for him. They carried no weight or merit. Neither did Yumiko's pain from having come face to face with a scorned Orihime. What bothered him, was Aizen. Vale knew good and well, that nothing that happens in Las Noches goes unseen. Unmentioned, perhaps. But, never unseen. Koga had taken both Orihime and Yumiko from him - Yumiko to Szayel's lab and Orihime home. There was no doubt that Yumiko would be safe. It was himself, that he worried for. Koga claimed Yumiko's visit to Szayel was to replace filters that had been removed by the Shopkeep. But, that didn't mean that neither Aizen or Szayel had no plans of their own. What did they do to you? What would I do to you?...
Vale adjusted his eye patch again and backed up the wall parallel to the door and sat.

Yumiko’s door opened. “How long do you plan on sitting next to my door, Tervaden?” a neutral, feminine voice asked. Yumiko stood in the doorway, dressed in white hakama and shihakusho. Little color on her cheeks, the same as when Orihime healed her, her blue violet eyes lacked the usual determined glint that made the violet tint so striking.
As he continued to stare at her, she looked down to his hand. "That's right. I forgot my zanpakuto in your room last night. May I have it back?"

"Um..." Vale rose from his seat on the floor and walked towards Yumiko. "Are you ok? I know Orihime want exactly gentle with you. Less gentle with me. But, um..." He handed her Mizue. "Here."

Yumiko took Mizue no Kagami first and tucked it in her sash. She then looked back at Tervaden. “Yes, I am alright, Tervaden. Why wouldn’t I be? It’s not like Inoue’s foolish spite hurt me. Even if she wasn’t gentle - as you put it.” She tucked a lock behind her ear. “They were only words. Such have no means of hurting me. Not anymore.”

"Not anymore?" asked Vale. He reached out to her, letting the back of his hand lightly grace her cheek. "Are you sure you're ok? I mean you passed out on me, Rose. You scared me a bit."

She tilted her head at him, eyes regarding him steadily as he caressed her cheek, as if it meant something. She chuckled. “I guess I was still tired from our activity last night. It wasn’t Inoue’s words, if that is what you are worrying. Which is strange, coming for you.”
“You never cared for Inoue, Tervaden. Why is there a need to change yourself now?”

Vale dropped his hand and looked away. "You're not Orihime." He stepped away from her, shoving his hands in his pockets. "What the hell is wrong with you, Yumi? You're not...you. This is cold...Distant. Not you."

"Why do you think something's wrong?" Yumiko asked with no hesitation. "It's natural to change."
Vale look up again. "Not like this, Yumi."
Yumiko stared at him for a long moment. "Worry doesn't suit the halls of Las Noches, Tervaden. I thought you knew that."

Vale narrowed his eyes. "And, this suits you? I understand not wanting to hurt or feel. But, the Yumiko I talked to yesterday...This isn't her. You're not heartless..." He gave an agitated grin. "Hm... Ok" Vale turned his back to Yumiko. Then, without warning, turned and punched her in the face. "He wants you to walk around like some fucking cold hearted bitch. I will treat you like one. And, a bitch doesn't deserve to be left unbruised!"

Yumiko wiped the blood from her nose, her own eyes narrowed and violet shining through, before she calmed and straightened. “Are you quite done with complaining, Tervaden? Or was that your way of saying you want a rematch? Because even if that was a childish way to demand it, I am willing. Your talk with me has distracted me enough from my training session.”

Vale shook his head. "I told you outside of the canopy, I won't fight you." He wiped her blood from his knuckles before adjusting his eye patch. "And, I will not go back on my word." He took the wilted rose from his obi placed it in her hair. "I'm sorry, Rose." He turned on his heels and headed down the hall. "I think we are done here, Yumi. For now..." He raised his hand, waving over his shoulder.
