Yumiko frowned. “But Sousuke…” she lowered and shook her head. She couldn’t stay silent. “It's different. You’re condemning Kita to the complete opposite of what you would give me. She knows what she had with Ichimaru, but you’re breaking them up. He might not remember, but she does. Kita... she will be alone and heartbroken.” She set her hand over her lover’s on her leg. “Like I was.”

Aizen slid his hand under her chin lifting her head more so to look in her eyes. "She won't be alone. She will have Tervaden." He grinned has his hand fell from under her chin and he reached for his teacup.
"Tervaden can say what he likes, but I know the man has a weakness for that woman. In time he will be so wrapped up in her no man will even be able to look at Kita without him wanting to gouge their eyes out." He looked back to Yumiko as she sat there dazed at what he just told her.

“Sousuke, Vale - Vale is not the one she loves. And Vale does not love her. You’re - if this is your plan, you’re planting false love in both of their hearts. That…” She stood up and looked away, her chest heaving. “Do you have to do this? You’ll make them both more miserable than they already are. Vale trying to win the heart of someone who has already met her soulmate, and Kita…. never able to forget what she lost.”
Aizen chuckled placing his cup back to the table as he sat back on the couch. "I never said anything about love, Hime. The two are obsessed with one another. Their sexual behavior alone will keep them together." He looked over the back of the couch to Yumiko with a smirk. "Now I see why you never let him love you. You have no faith in the man. Give him the needed time with Kitten and her free of Ichimaru's charm. He will win the heart of the woman he seeks."
She stiffened. “Actually my past with him shows that it won’t work,” she stated in a carefully neutral voice, turning to face Aizen. “You already took my heart, so I never completely surrendered to .... She turned away again, taking a breath. "It is the same with Kita. She belongs with Ichimaru. But if Vale wants her, he will do anything he can to keep her….” She fell silent, running her fingers over the back of her hand.
“And there’s Sojiro …. this … will just lead to destruction.”

Aizen with his smirk still in place stood from the couch and walked around it toward Yumiko. "My plan? You're mistaken, Hime. This is not my plan." His smirk widened. Taking hold of her elbow and turning her to look at him, he told her. "This is Tervaden's, my dear."
"Does it matter?" she dared ask. "Nothing but suffering will come from it unless Kita-" She lowered her head. "Unless she changes."
Aizen pulled her into an embrace as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Kita has changed more that you would like to admit Yumiko. I think that is what scares you more than anything. Am I right?"

“They’ve all changed,” Yumiko murmured in lieu of answering the question directly, though the thunder of her heart against her chest gave him even more of a reply. Even if the last words spoken to her from Kita were of anger and hurt, she had been Yumiko’s first friend. It was scary to think of Kita changing – to be another person who could walk away from her.
Though she had been the one to walk away from Ukitake....

Aizen pulled her closer as she started to tremble in his arms. "Don't think about it Hime. It's the best thing you can do at this moment and always. To save your sanity, focus on yourself and me. Nothing or no one else matters." He lifted her head looking into her eyes. "As long as you are at my side nothing will ever harm you and you will never know what it is like to be alone again." He pulled her into a warm loving kiss sealing her reply. Not breaking from the kiss he sweep her up in his arms and walked them both to the bedroom, closing the door soundly behind them. --END RP-- "Bruised Relationship": |

"The Last Six Months": (final) Yumiko lay reading in bed, wrapped in one of Sousuke’s haoris to block out the chill from the desert breeze outside. Nothing else covered her nude body and a soft smile filled her lips. She seemed content. A lock of her damp hair slipped down her cheek as she turned a page. And paused. Really, only half of her mind was on the poems set out before her. It had started wandering a while ago. She chuckled and closed the book. She couldn’t help it when the poems were about passion in all its forms. A light blush colored her cheeks, recalling one of the more vivid passages about violent possession and the sweet surrender it brought from the prey sought. There were verses that reminded her of her time with Vale and there were just as many that reminded her fleeting but growing time with Sousuke. She tucked a lock back behind her ear. The longer she spent by him the more was coming to realize how the king of Las Noches had never let her go. And no matter much as she had tried, by throwing a blood red rose in a lake and by denying herself a peace with Vale for years, her heart had never gotten over him. Yumiko slipped off the bed and walked over to the tall ice blue rose growing by the balcony, running her fingers through the downy petals, her eyes growing sad. Because Vale had never had a chance with his Rose. It had been for Aizen that her powers had expanded to the point it could be the danger Soul Society had feared. Even when he had been ‘killed’, that hadn’t changed. She’d fought so she would stay free of the draw he still had on her. To escape the whispers in the night. And with his love, they’d slowly faded. But when Vale tore her down…. Yumiko winced as she pricked herself on a hidden thorn and watched a bleeding teardrop form. She turned her hand, looking to the pale scar across the skin. They returned, and Alister’s presence only made them worse. The insistent demands to surrender to the night. Yumiko sighed and looked to the moon. To the stark reality that she’d been swept into. She’d fought that call for so long. A fate connected to Sousuke. And Vale was another who had been lost because of it. She turned away to get dressed, smiling again. At least she hadn’t lost Kita. Yumiko had been so shocked when Kita had shown up with Vale at her side. He had exited without a glance in her direction, but Kita had all but pounced on her. Saying a bunch of nonsense and apologizing for neglecting her. She’d been stunned. No sure if she should talk to her or stay quiet. She had started out small, confusing her best friend further. Until Aizen had entered and smiled in her direction. Yumiko had smiled in return before embracing her friend and starting her own set of apologies. That day passed in chaos. Yet, later in the month, she learned that the goddess had sealed her memories. Yumiko was torn on the results of that, worrying about her rebellion towards Aizen yet relieved she wouldn’t see her so sad at the loss of her mate. She didn’t know what would happen when the war surged up again. But it was Sousuke who was banishing all of her demons. One by one. Even as he persuaded further distance from the captives and their fate. It wasn’t hers. She picked up Mizue no Kagami, sliding her back into her sheath and walked out of the room. For now, she needed to meet Ulquiorra.

"The Merge of Power”: (Continued)
Pushing open the door Kita let Ichigo enter first as she walked in behind him. Placing her hand to the lower part of his back she pushed him gently forward a few steps when he stopped in his tracks. She closed the door and looked up to see Yuzu had entered the room. Thus causing Ichigo to stop when he entered the room.
Yuzu was bowing, a towel in her hand. "Yuzu," Kita called to her walking around Ichigo to her. "How many times do I have to tell you you do not have to bow to me. I am no one." She placed her hand gently on her shoulder smiling warmly at her.

Yuzu raised her head. “You are Master Tervaden’s mate, Lady. It is only proper that I bow to you,” she smiled back, “as I have told you many times. But as it bothers you, I only do it once.” She turned to the man at the entrance, who was staring at her. Quite intensely. She walked over. “Can I help you?” she asked.

Ichigo blinked hurriedly. Same eyes. Same smile even. But that which lay within her eyes… Has changed, Ichigo stated to himself. She was still Yuzu. His baby sister. But she really didn’t know him. Kind curiosity beamed from her doe-like pupils is if she were greeting a guest to please. It made him happy and turned his stomach in knots all at once. It was difficult to process. “Hi…” he murmured.

Kita walked over and wrapped her arms around Ichigo's arm as she stood next to him a bright smile across her lips. "Yuzu, I would like you to meet a very dear friend of mine. He is like my older brother, Ichigo Kuro--" She stopped abruptly realizing Yuzu remembered her own last name.
She looked up at Ichigo seeing a sadness in hie eyes, but a happiness as well to see his kid sister. Kita let her hold on his arm tighten slightly to show her support. "Ichigo, this is Yuzu. She is the cook for two of the Captain's. Lord Aizen and Yumiko." She looked back to Yuzu smiling again. "And an amazing cook I my add."

Yuzu blushed and lowered her head. “No, you flatter me. It’s nothing. Just good ingredients and recipes. And time.” She raised her head and smiled. “It’s just that I have the time. It’s really nothing special.”
“But to devote all that time to others’ happiness and not your own is something unique,” Ichigo interrupted. She fell silent. “I am sure your cooking is very good, Ms.Yuzu.” He paused. “You put your heart and soul into it. It’s small wonder that Ukitake-san is back on his feet.”
Yuzu blinked and glanced down, wringing her towel. “Your words are kind. Thank you.” She looked up again at the young man. There was something about his eyes… The oven beeped and she turned around. “If you will excuse me, I have a special meal to prepare tonight on Lord Aizen’s orders.” She walked from the room.

As his kid sister walked out as if he was a polite stranger, Ichigo looked to Kita. "Thanks," he murmured. "I think it's a good thing you were here."
Kita looked quickly to him from Yuzu as she walked out. A single tear trickling down her cheek. "You're welcome." Another tear followed as she thought of her little brother, Kenji, and how he had drifted from her since they were brought there. She looked quickly away and dried her tears. "At least we can bring her back." She sniffled as her head shook slightly, "I don't think I am going to get that lucky with Kenji."
Ichigo frowned and took her hand. "Don't give up on him," he whispered. "It's the next to best thing you can do in this situation. It's true you don't know, but what could happen will get worse if you don't believe in the best." He smiled as best he could through his own torrent of emotion. "That's something my old man would say whenever Tatsuki would get mad at me, and I know it's different here. But I think that makes it all the more important. You can't give up on him and you have to be available if he turns to you."

"I would never turn my back on him. NEVER." She pulled Ichigo into a hug, hugging him tightly. When he hugged her tightly in return she hummed sweetly. "It feels good to be hugged by someone you know cares. You can't find that in this palace." They parted from the hug as Kita looked to him.
"Poor Sojiro and Yumiko, I am always hugging them. I am sure they are getting hugged out." She giggled softly.
