Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 449 "First Steps": The silver-haired reaper appeared on the outskirts of Karakura with Vacanze, let go, and leapt a few feet away, grinning like a fiend. “That’s better. You being gone for so long put me in quite a pickle, Vacanze-san. People get emotional and sulky when you’re not in the picture. Hope you plan on staying around~" Vacanze chuckled combing his fingers through his hair then looked at Gin with mischievous eyes. "I am sure you're not telling me Yuzu was all pouty. I don't take you for the type to care about anyone other than my jewel." His smirk grew. "So she missed me did she?" Gin's grin faltered for the second time that day before he scoffed and waved a hand. "She misses any of her friends if she doesn't know they're okay, and Sojiro was the one making a fuss."
Most of the time.

Vacanze saw the switch in Gin's expression with his teasing. "He's a great kid." He walked over to Gin and looked the man in the eyes. "You know I'd never, not unless you step out of line with her. And I don't think I will ever have to worry about that."
"Well now, why would I do that?" the reaper quipped easily.
Vacanze looked around the countryside, "why in the Hell are we out here?" He looked back at Gin.

Gin waved his hand. "Oh there are several good reasons actually. It's a good place for sparring where no one will disturb you, interrogating where no one will bother with the screams, just talking and brooding. Could be any one of these things," he mused aloud. "So are you sticking around? I think we're done with all the shuffling through realms but then again, it's only happened twice. Three times seems to be the charm with too many things. If you have something you want done, do it quickly~"

Vacanze scoffed at Gin's last comment, "As long as they're done shuffling our asses around." His head nodded slightly. "Yeah, I'm here to stay. I have a little lady I want to hold in my arms for as long as she will allow."
Vacanze stepped under a nearby tree for some shade. "The last time you did something like this you wanted me to make a ring for Kita. A ring that went through as much Hell as the two of you did. I can't believe you found it after all the shit with Vale." He chuckled, "What is it you humans say?" He scratched the back of his head.
"It was meant to be, or fate was on my side?" Vacanze waved a carefree hand. "Either way, that ring was made for her and given to her with a strong promise attached to it. I hope you plan on sticking by that promise."

Gin scoffed. “They say all sorts of things about those kind of events, and I think too much has happened for me to call them coincidences." His eyes narrowed. "But how the hell do you know that much about that ring? Sojiro wasn't even sure how his mother got hers back, and he has its partner and a demigod."
Vacanze lips drew up in one corner, "I guess I never told you what type of metal they were made from."
"Waiting," Gin looked on at Vacanze.
"The metal of one my arrows. It's how I always know where my arrows are after a fight." Vacanze waved a hand. "I don't have time to watch where they are going. So I made them from a special metal that connects with the person that is forging it."
"So you'll know where the other is at all times?" Gin pressed, eyes narrowing further.

"Knew where Sojiro and Kita were at all times." He lounged back on the tree trunk, "Well, Kita not so much since her ring was separated from her more than a few times." He looked at Gin with a raised brow. Vacanze was not sure if he was pissed about this or what.
"The metal has many attributes the forger can imprint on it. You just have to be in that frame of mind while forging it."
"So," Gin deliberated, "what kind of attributes can you add to them? And is this metal something you create or is it only in Hueco Mundo?"
Vacanze shrugged, "That is the million kan question. I have only forged the metal with two attributes, but I would have to say any attribute could be forged into it. As for the where," Vacanze's hand lifted as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Hueco Mundo."

“Well it’s not easy to get there now, is it? Not without getting into some kind of trouble. Still,” he looked up at the sky above them. “It’s worth considering. It’s nice knowing that’s possible.” A sly grin lit up his face as he turned back to the Ayakashi. “For me, that is. I don’t remember agreeing to you knowing all that information.”
"Well you didn't exactly provide any metals either, did you?" Vacanze retorted, still leaning against the tree. "Don't blame the artist."
"So it's part of the process not just the metal now?"

"It's both, the metal is imprinted on by the energy of your thoughts and feelings while you are forging the metal into your creation," Vacanze explained again. "Dude, your hair is silver not blond. What's so hard to understand?"
Vacanze shook his head, "And don't worry about going to Hueco Mundo. I have a stash that would make a grown man cry." He grinned, "I have been collecting this metal for decades."

“Who said I was worried?” Gin quipped. “Even if you hadn’t stashed it away, there’s more than one way to get into Hueco Mundo, especially when you’ve lived there like you and me — for a while.” He shrugged. “It's neither here nor there now. I've confirmed the facts, and I think I know enough to get what I want.”
He tilted his head at Vacanze. “No wonder you spend time in the shopkeeper's lab. Gems, metals, and poisons — you have quite a collection of skills Aizen let go to waste, don’t you?
I wonder who’s more creative between you and that crazy pink scientist?”

"Me," Vacanze pointed at himself with his thumb and a wide grin. "My creations actually work and last for centuries unlike Octava's."
He pushed off the tree and stepped toward the snake. "So what are your plans with that little lady of yours or are you just looking to play the sweetheart and get her a gift?"

“My plans with her?” Gin quipped. “Who says it has anything to do with her? I have a boy that will soon be joining the academy if he has anything to say about it. There’s a cute baby in my house that will need looking after as soon as he starts crawling, and Vale left another young boy behind in our care as well. You have yet to meet him, but that’s a lot for me to keep an eye on.”
He stepped over to the tree with the Ayakashi. “But then again, there’s also my lovely woman who likes to run and leave me behind. Putting a bell on her might make everyone’s lives easier.”
When Vacanze raised a brow, not impressed, Gin chuckled. “You’re no fun.”
He drew Shinsou from his side, letting the edge glint in the sunlight. “Then let’s figure out what are the limitations are~”
“Shoot to kill, Shinsou.” - END RP - “Everything Changes”

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 501 "Fetching A Snake": (continued) Gin didn’t linger near the shop or the center of Karakura, though the rage that festered up inside him at confirmation of the shopkeeper’s involvement caught him by surprise. He had suspected that from the beginning — the shopkeeper had stayed too calm the last two days — but he had chosen to dismiss the idea. Because, despite similarities to the situation with one Rukia Kuchiki, Kita should have been considered his family. He scoffed at what that detail meant for himself as he lingered at the river where he would sometimes train.
But he chose the same result as before.
He would deal with Kisuke Urahara later. When he could strangle Kita for her part in playing along, too.
For now, his path was clear.
He pulled out his zanpakuto, twisting to make the key to the Dangai to Soul Society.

A sudden surge of reiatsu, dark and powerful, filled the air, causing Gin to turn from the opening gate as Aizen appeared like a shadow emerging from the darkness. He looked on at Gin a slight smirk tugging at his lips.
"The river's quietude must be a familiar companion by now, offering solace in the whispers of water that mirror the flow of your thoughts. The inevitability of certain choices, regardless of the paths we take, is a lesson not easily forgotten—one that we have both mastered through countless betrayals and battles."
Gin hissed at the man he once called master.
"You must understand, Gin, that the dance of shadows we are entwined in does not permit the luxury of attachment, not even to those who share our blood or history. Urahara's involvement was always a possibility, a variable in this grand equation that only now reveals its true weight. Yet, you must not let rage cloud your vision. You and I both know that anger is a blade that cuts both ways, dulling the mind even as it sharpens resolve." Aizen stepped toward Gin, "Kita has made her choice, as have you. But do not mistake her actions for betrayal without first considering the wider web in which we are all entangled. There are forces at play here far beyond the petty emotions of mortals and Shinigami alike."
Gin's ire calmed as his signature smile returned to his face at the mention of Kita. "Oh, I have yet to believe it's betrayal on her part. Foolish sacrifice that needs to be discussed at our leisure, most definitely."
Aizen drew closer to the silver-haired male a chuckle escaping him, "Well, when the time comes to deal with Urahara, and with Kita, do so not with the fury of a man scorned but with the precision of the serpent that you are. Strike not out of vengeance, but out of necessity. The path you walk is yours alone, Gin, but remember that every move you make ripples through the world we are crafting. I expect you to be decisive, but more than that, I expect you to be discerning."

Gin’s blue eyes flickered with growing amusement at the turn this evening had taken. “If someone had told me I would stand here and listen to advice from you of all people tonight, I’d have gagged them with their own slippery weapon. But here we are, at a crossroads or another page of the war that we started so long ago. I’ve yet to decide which one it is.” He held Aizen’s glittering gaze with his own for a moment longer before moving past him into the opening gate. “As for what I wish to accomplish, I know well where vengeance will take me and I have too much of a future to return to that place. I intend to use my time away from here wisely, with each swing creating a current underneath your ripples. Whether or not I interfere with your echoes is entirely up to you two. You've twisted enough from her. If you fail her now, I’ll destroy it all."

"No harm will come to Kita where she is being kept. She is free to leave if she so desires, yet she remains within the confines of the barrier, fully aware of the peril that awaits her beyond it. Her choice to stay is not born out of fear but of understanding—an understanding of two essential truths in this game we play."
Aizen allowed the silence to stretch, a subtle pause that hung in the air like a poised blade, before continuing. "First: She knows she cannot survive if Shosei finds her. While her strength is undeniable, Kita is no match for the combined might of four captains, each wielding powers that eclipse her own. She does not seek death; she desires life, to be with her family, to exist beyond the grasp of oblivion. Second: Should Shosei succeed in his pursuit,"—Aizen raised a finger, halting Gin's inevitable interjection—"Yes, Kita is immortal, but that immortality hinges on her heart. If Shosei tears it from her chest to reach the Hōgyoku, she will die. And yet," Aizen's tone shifted to one of almost casual indifference as he shrugged, "what does it matter? Because if Shosei obtains her Hōgyoku and merges it with his own, we are all fated to perish. There will be no force capable of halting the catastrophe that will follow."
He fixed Gin with a piercing gaze, the weight of inevitability behind his words. "This is why Kisuke has taken the actions he has, and why he seeks my aid. For in this world, no one understands the Hōgyoku as intimately as I do."
