Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: Deep RenewalEpisode 352 "Come Home": Koi lay on her bed, curled into the fetal position as she held tightly to all she had left of her friend. Her eyes were dry; only because she could no longer shed tears. Her eyes burned so she kept them shut. Koi glanced over her shoulder to find Tervaden slouched over and sleeping in the chair beside the bed. He stayed...A strange act of kindness from a man like him. As quietly as she could, Koi sat up and turned to face the edge of the bed.
As slowly and as quietly as she could, Koi stood up and tip-toed through the room, the singed apron still in her hand. As she reached for the door, it slid open. "Honzo?!" Koi held her breath. "Koi..."Exhaling, Koi looked over to find the chair that Tervaden was sitting in empty. She looked to the man standing in front of her. "Why are you here?" |

“I heard what happen to Honzo.” Isao told her, Koi hung her head at hearing Honzo’s name being spoken causing Isao to take her in his arms and pull her close to him.
He kissed the top of her head, “I am so sorry, my love. I know what the boy meant to you.”
Keeping her close to him and in a tight but tender hold Isao rest his cheek against the top of her head. He held her until she was ready to be released from said hold.

Koi turned her face to his chest and inhaled as deeply as she could. She could feel his arms tighten around her as she lessened the space between them. "Who told you?" she mumbled into his chest.
"Urahara had a message delivered to me...From Vale Tervaden..."
Koi pushed away from her husband, but stayed in his arms. "He was there..." Koi held up the singed apron. "This is...This is all I have left, Isao..."

Isao shook his head slightly at the singed apron she was holding up between them. “No. No you have more than just that. It’s not physical, but you still have more than just his apron.”
His hand lifted caressing her cheek with the backs of his fingers. “I know it’s not what you want, but Honzo will always be with you in spirit.”

Koi could feel herself trembling. Closing her eyes as she leaned into him again, Koi sighed. "Oh shut up..." she mumbled. "I don't want memories. I don't want this...fucking apron." Koi let the apron fall from her hand. "He should be here, Isao. He should be here."
Koi stomped a foot in her growing anger. "I can't stay here without him...No..." Koi pushed away from Isao completely and ran a hand through her hair. "Okay...Uh...I need to figure out where I'm going to go."
"Koi..."
"Maybe Urahara has a spare place in this fucking town."
"Koi..."
"What?!"
"Come home."
Koi stared at Isao for a moment. "What...?"

“Come home.” Isao smiles warmly at her. “I miss the hell out of you being around, and in truth I was this close”—he lifted his hand, his thumb and pinky finger centimeters apart—“to packing up all my shit and moving to the human realm to be with you.”
He nodded and stepped forward into her. “It’s been too long, Koi. Come home so we can be a family again.”

"Oh! Fuck you!" shouted Koi. "You weren't going to do anything. And, it's a cheap shot to even bring this up right now." Koi stepped away from him. "You don't want to be a family again. You're just taking advantage of my fucking grief!"
Isao sighed, he knew it was just her anger of losing Honzo speaking. Rubbing his forehead he took a deep breath and looked at his wife again. “You know that’s not true. I would have been here with you from the beginning, but you demanded I stay back in Soul Society.” His head shook. “What the fuck for; I have no idea because Aizen had the Gotei running around like a chicken with its head hacked off.”
"Because you can do better than this...And, now I'm mess because Hutch is...is gone...And," Koi stopped shouting. Tears stained her face as she looked to Isao. "Isao...There's nothing for me to do in the Society Society. There's no point to me going back."

Isao placed his hands on her upper arms and caressed lightly. “I am sure Kyoraku can find something for you, and if he can’t I can. I was given division 8. I am back to being Captain Zayasu,” he grinned madly.
“You can be my lieutenant. We can be the first husband and wife team in the Gotei.” Isao stated half jokingly.

Koi chuckled. "I wouldn't be in your division and you know it, you no brow having bastard."
"Aw." Isao whined pretending to be disappointed. "Why not?!"
"I don't want to fight, Isao." admitted Koi. "Besides...I like using Captain as a term of endearment. I'm not about to call you Captain because you're in charge of me. To hell with that idea!" Growing silent for a moment, Koi looked to her husband. "Is this happening? Are we really...actually planning for me to go back?"

Isao’s head nodded slowly a wide and very happy smile spread across his lips. “Yes.” He said flat out, Koi giving him a raised brow look. “Maybe,” he changed his tune as she crossed her arms over her abdomen. He gave her a puppy dog look.
”I hope.” He then stood tall in front of his wife. “Yes. We are doing this and there will be no more talking about it. Only doing it.” He gave Koi a stern nod still smiling happily.

"Go to hell." snapped Koi. She smiled as she turned away from Isao. "I don't want to go just yet...I need to do something for him."
Isao nodded. "Whatever you want to do for him, I'll be here. I'm not going back without you."
Koi nodded. "Thank you, Captain." Sighing, Koi walked over to the bed and sat on its edge. "Isao...What do I do now? You know...I ignore shit like this. But...This...I liked him. About as much as I like you." Koi chuckled as she slid back on the bed and brought her knees to her chest. "This shouldn't hurt..."

"Somebody lied to you if you were told it shouldn't hurt." He walked over sitting on the edge of the bed next to his wife. He patted her arm closest to him. "You take it one day at a time."
"No one lied to me, you ass." Koi said in a huff of discomfort. "I'm too old for this..." She sat up, shifting on the bed until she was as close to Isao as she was willing to be. Resting her head to his shoulder, she wrapped her arm around his and laces her fingers with his. "...My friend..." Koi sighed, unsure of what to say.
Isao wrapped his arm around his wife, kissing the top of her head. "You'll make it. If not you then for Hanzo at least." They sat there for what seemed like hours, Isao just holding his wife next to him. Something he enjoyed very much and he was pleased that she would be returning back home with him. So from here on out there will be no more wishing she was in their home and their bed. Their being apart will soon be in the past.

Koi sighed, allowing herself to relax a bit while in Isao's arms. She turned her face to his chest and began to cry. Koi Coda...Brought to tears by the death of a human man...Her friend...Her best friend.
Feeling Isao move, she grabbed onto him. "No..." she whispered into his chest."I'm not going anywhere."Koi nodded with her head still against his chest. They would stand there a little long - Koi mourning the loss of her friend. Isao holding her while in her grief. They stood there until she was ready. Then...They went home.END RP "Meeting of the Minds?"
