“He won’t forget us!” Kita exclaimed grabbing her head. “He won’t! I won’t let him! I will be there with him. I will fight for him to return to the light. Even if it kills me. I will fight for him.” She let her hands rest to her lower abdomen. “For Sojiro.”

“I know others that thought the same thing.” Sumi turned her back on Kita once more. “You know both of them very well. Look what he has done to them, Kita. Open your eyes. Ichimaru will be dangerous when the darkness swallows him. Do you really think I will allow you to be around him?”

Kita spun and looked at Sumi her eyes narrowed. “You won’t dare!?” She growled at her.
“I will do what I must to keep you and the baby safe and alive. Aizen has threatened yours and my life twice now. I will not allow that man to touch you any longer. You will not be going back to Las Noches, and I will be taking my powers from Ichimaru.”
Kita stepped back quickly stumbling and falling. Sumi’s tone told her she was more than serious about her returning back to Las Noches.

“But…”“There will be no more talk of this. Rest.” Sumi started to fade into the void. “You need your strength for the baby. It’s time you start living a normal life and thinking of you and Sojiro.” Her voice now echoing around Kita. “Not that silver haired Fox that thinks of only running away when things get too hard for him to face.”
Kita fell to her side crossing her arms, burying her head in their folds as she wept.~END RP~ "Fox Hunt":

"A Broken Promise":It was hours later and Kita's eyes opened. She pushed up in bed and looked around the room. "Home..." she smiled, but her heart quickly sank remembering what Sumi told her. Then suddenly it felt like a hot dagger was drove through her heart.She looked quickly at the door. "Gin..." his name barely a whisper as it slipped from her lips.His reiatsu. Something was different. Very different. She did not like what she felt, how her heart ached in her chest. Did he return to the darkness already? So quickly? Was everything she did truly in vain? Did her love mean so little to him? Was his unborn child still not even enough? Was the darkness so strong that nothing mattered to him? So strong that he let Aizen pull him back that easily?She drew her legs to her chest wrapping her arms around them, her head now lowered between her body and drawn legs. She started to rock in place as she felt his annoyance grow in the other room. Their connection fading slowly as the darkness slowly took over his heart."Please hear me Gin..." She called out to him in her mind. "I am always with you. I will always trust you. Please don't leave me. Please... Don't leave...Us..." she spoke in the silence of the room. "You promised. You promised you would always be there." Tears now staining her face, her arms tightening around her legs. "Please... Gin... Hear me..."

"Turning Point": (continued)Vacanze rushed in the shop with Kita draped in his arms screaming for anyone that would answer his panicked screams. He rushed down the hall to her room still screaming at the top of his lungs. " GOD DAMN IT!! SOMEONE FUCKING HELP!! KITA IS NOT BREATHING!!" Shinji was right behind him as he quickly opened the door to Kita's room and he and Vacanze rushed in laying her on her bed. Kisuke and Tessai rushed in behind them pushing them aside to get to Kita. Tessai immediately sees she was not breathing started CPR on her. "What the hell happened to her!?" Kisuke yelled at them. Before Vacanze could answer Gin burst into the room. His complexion paler than normal.

“What - do you mean - she’s not breathing?” he hissed, eyes cystraline in fear and rage. It's a trick. It has to be a trick. Seeing the looks around the room, he lurched froward, hand outstretched towards Kita. “You’re lying. You're all -” Kisuke grabbed his shoulder.
“Hang on, fox. You can’t do anything for her that Tessai isn’t already trying,” the shopkeeper murmured. “Don’t forget the goddess either.”
Gin yanked his shoulder free and pushed forward again only for Kisuke to appear behind him and pin both his arms behind his back. Gin growled. "Let. go."
"Panicking won't help Kita. Unless you behave, I'll take you from the room."
Gin glared. "You wouldn't dare."
"Oh yes, I would." Kisuke tightened his grip for one moment and then let go. "Now behave."
Gin turned to him and then stepped backwards. Kisuke repeated his question. And then Shinji cursed as Shinsou rammed into his shoulder and the room shook as Gin slammed Vacanze into the wall, fists in his shirt. His eyes narrowed down at the espada.
“What happened? And why are you looking guilty, hollow?” he snarled.

Vacanze shoved Gin back as his shirt ripped from Gin's grip. "Don't blame this shit on me you fucking Snake! I tried saving her! She fell from the roof of the shop! If it was not for you she would not have been up there!!"
Gin came at him again as both men grabbed a piece of the others clothing drawing back their fists to pummel the other.
"KNOCK IT OFF!!" Kisuke screamed at them.
Shinji palmed his face shaking his head, muttering. "Fucking temper. Glad I'm only part hollow."

As Kisuke walked toward them with a scowl on his face. Gin released Vacanze shoving him back slightly and retreated to window in the room sitting in the sill as he looked out across the yard.
"Go on. Get out of here." Kisuke told Vacanze.
"Why the fuck do I have to leave when he gets to stay?!" Vacanze growled.
"Because he is the father of the child she is carrying." Kisuke reminded him.
Vacanze growled as he looked at Gin. "That's all he is in her life. Fucking sperm donor." He mumbled the last part as he shoved his hands in his pockets, turned on his heel and left the room.
As Vacanze stepped from the room a deep gasping breath was drawn, quick coughing following behind it. Kisuke turned quickly going to Kita's side as Vacanze spun and rushed back in.
"Kita." Kisuke said taking her hand. Gin stayed in the window well, but he visibly relaxed.

As Kisuke talked to Kita, Gin closed his eyes, limbs heavy from training and the scare just now. Fucking sperm donor. That's right. Kita had never had a chance to choose. She'd lost her memories and after that, Las Noches and he had slowly peeled her away from the love she'd shared with Ashimitsu. Now she carried his child. There were so many things wrong with those statements, but Gin could not let her go.
He bowed his head, Vacanze's hateful words echoing in his head and blending with that time after he had beaten her to near death.
No, he couldn't.
He needed her to deal with the crushing weight of his life's choices.
To stay together long enough for it to end.

Finishing his talk with Kita, Kisuke looked to Tessai as he nodded. He then slowly stood and turned to Vacanze and Shinji in the room. "Everyone out."
"What? Wait a minute. Why? She is awake." Vacanze questioned as Kisuke backed them out of the door. Kisuke then looked to Shinji. "Kenji will be home soon. Can you keep him out of here, please."
Shinji nodded. "Got it." He grabbed Vacanze by the arm and pulled him out of the room.
As the door closed, Kisuke turned back to Gin. "Are you alright?" The look on Gin's face was not very reassuring.

For a long moment, Gin didn’t reply. He did nothing but stare at a space by Kita’s head. “I’ll manage,” he finally murmured. “Is she… are they alright?” Kisuke nodded and the fox clenched a hand. "Good," he croaked.
Kisuke looked at him stepping toward him. "Let me ask you something, Ichimaru?"
Gin nodded, not daring to lift his head up. To show the pain.
Kisuke looked to Kita her eyes closed as he looked back to Gin. "Do you love her or are you just scared to lose your light?"
Again, Gin nodded. "I'm terrified to tell her." He clenched his hands, ducking his head further against his chest. "Those words... they're too powerful. I don't deserve them."
Kisuke shook his head walking up to him patting his shoulder. "Don't you think that is for her to decide if you deserve them or not. After all, its her heart she is giving you. The great thing about love Ichimaru. It means you're never alone."
Gin flinched visibly. "How can it be that simple?" he hissed. His hands shook as blood ran down his closed fist from the nails digging into his palm. "I've raped her - and others. I've killed countless and enjoyed it. I've tortured people until they were mere shadows of themselves and laughed as I released them from their pain. I.. I thrived in the darkness, Kisuke. I can never erase that."
A tear escaped the iron control on his will. "It can never be forgiven. Even with Aizen's death."

"I never said it was easy, but if she can forgive you there's hope. She can show you how to forgive yourself and in time others will forgive you as well. This road is not simple nor is it easy, but only you can take the first step to get it going in the right direction." He looked to Kita as she lay in her bed.
"She brought you this far. Now it is your turn." He looked back to Gin. "It's not who you are that holds you back, Ichimaru. It's who you think you're not. She loves you for who you are, not someone you think you should be for her. She knows that no body is perfect." He smiled warmly patting his shoulder once more. "Take that first step. She won't let you fall."

Gin glanced up at him and then over to Kita. He recalled all the times she had been torn apart by Aizen or by himself, the rape at his return, her screams afterwards trying to understand, begging him to stop when ordered to take her after Loki and Aizen had already been at her, how long it had taken to stop her tears that night.... the backlash that had built between them. He had nearly lost her on multiple occasions. She had risked her soul and Aizen’s wrath to protect him.
Could he now do what Kisuke asked of him? What Kita wished?
He stood, keeping his head down.
He had to try.
“Leave the room, and tell everyone they can visit soon.” Kisuke nodded and left the room.
At least he understood how difficult this was for the fox.
Gin knelt by Kita’s side and hesitantly, caressed her cheek. “Why you never abandoned me, dearest, I will never understand, but ….. I do love you for it. You’ve gone through nearly all the levels of hell to protect me, to remind me of the light. Of hope. Slowly changing me. Why do you love me, Kita? Will it be easier to live on by saying those words? I don’t know.” He stood again and looked down on her. “I love you, dearest. And I think….. even if my taint ruins Sojiro…. your child…. my son… I will love him too.” He leaned down, kissing her gently, and then rose. "No more ladders for you."
Gin turned to leave the room.

Kita opened her eyes slowly pushing up in bed with a soft groan. "You deliver a speech like that, pouring out your heart," she groaned again as she sat up completely. "Then walk away?" She looked at him with bright eyes and a warm smile as she patted the spot next to her on her bed.Gin hesitated and walked over. She chuckled. "Are you going to make me stand to get you down here?" Gin shook his head and lowered himself down next to her. "How are you feeling?" "Like an idiot." She giggled softly grabbing at her ribs. "But I will live. This is nothing compared to what I have lived through." She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Lingering there for a second she whispered. "I am sorry I doubted you, Gin." A tear slid down her cheek landing on the back of his hand.Gin closed his eyes. "Don't apologize. I deserve any doubt you suffer through. After all I've done to you." He opened his eyes and stroked her cheek. "I'm sorry... for everything. All the pain you went through." Kita closed her eyes as he touched her cheek gently. She hated that he blamed himself for the things he had no control over with her. "I accept your apologies. However, I never blamed you for any of this and I never will." Gin fell silent for a few moments. "That may be, dearest, but what will our son believe? When he asks and learns what happened? How... do I answer to him for your scars and nightmares? For the nightmares of others?" Kita pressed her lips to his pulling back she rested her forehead against his. "We teach him that not everyone is prefect. Not even his parents. We all make mistakes." She paused and smiled warmly. "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. He will learn this, and he will love his father," she gave him a soft peck on the lips. "Just like I love his father."Gin tugged her into his lap and held her close. "You're a wonderful person, Kita. I don't deserve you, but I will do my best to protect you and give you some happiness. Something back for all you have done for me." He paused. "I love you." Kita's hand tightened on his haori as she smiled, tipping her back to look up at him. It seemed like forever she had waiting to hear those words from him. Her heart leap in her chest skipping a few beats as it did. Releasing his haori she reached up caressing his cheek. All she could do was smile as both her arms slid around him hugging him tightly."I love you, Gin, and you owe me nothing. I just ask to be loved in return." Gin remained silent, but his arms tightened around her.
