Kita giggled softly, "sit down on the ground." She told him still holding on tightly to the box Yumiko handed her moments ago.
Kenji looked at her oddly, tilting his head as Kisuke and Yoruichi walked from the shop and watched the so called 'Greatest Surprise' in all the realms take place. "Go on Kenji. Sit down. Mommy and daddy want to see your gift as well." Kisuke told his son as he wrapped one of his arms around Yoruichi's waist as she stepped in closer to him. Both were smiling brightly wondering what it was Kita could have gotten their son.
After a few more seconds Kenji finally sat down on the ground and Kita joined him. She sat with the small box on her lap, her hands on either side as soft little scratching sounds emitted from the box and it wiggled on her lap. She slowly lifted the box and sat it on Kenji crossed legs.
"Now be careful it is very fragile and can be frightened very easily. You don't want to hurt him." Kita told him pulling her hands back from the box and giving him control over the gift.

Kenji nearly leapt up from the ground, the wiggling box in his lap frightening him. "Nee-chan, what is it?" He poked at the box, and the box squeaked at him and wiggled more. "Nee-chan! I don't want it! I dont like it!"

Kita giggled softly and placed her hand on top of the box as it stopped moving and making noises. "But you have not even seen what is inside the box. Here..." Kita placed her other hand on the box and slowly opened the lid completely so Kenji could look into the box.
"Look," she told him in a soft tone. Kenji leaned back afraid to look in the box, "come on. It won't hurt you. All it wants is to be your new friend."

Kenji slowly peeked inside the box, his eyes growing wider as he moved closer. "Nee-chan..." A little nose popped out of hole in the side of the box. And it's whiskers rubbed against Kenji's hand. "What was that?!" Kenji looked to Kita who placed her hands inside the box. She slowly took it out, revealing the little bunny with big lazy ears. Kenji's eyes widened he stared at the little bunny in Kita's hands. "Bunny." He quickly pointed at it before putting his hands in his lap.

Kisuke and Yoruichi walked over next to them as Kisuke reached out and rubbed the bunny between the ears with his pinky finger. Yoruichi only smiling as she winked at Kita for doing such a great job with the gift. Kita smiled in return as she looked back to Kenji.
"Want to hold him? He won't bite and he is really soft."

Kenji held out his hands and Kita gently placed the small lop earred bunny in his hand. He stared at the bunny, the smile on his face growing wide as the bunny whiskers tickled his hand. "He's small. Like me!" He looked up to his mother and father. "Tiny! Yumigo! Look! He's tiny!" He held the bunny up for Yumiko to see. "Can we call him Soji?"

Yumiko smiled and knelt down to look at the bunny as requested. Its pink nose twitched wildly, taking in the smells around him. She touched it gently and laughed with Kenji when it butt its head up against her hand. She looked back at Kenji. “I don’t know, Kenji. Will you mistake the bunny for your playmate if you give them the same name?”
"I'd never!" Kenji retorted.
They laughed.

Kisuke rested his hand to the top of Kenji's head and chuckled. "That sounds like a wonderful name for the little guy." He rubbed the bunny between the ears again with his pinky finger. "Barnaby. A wonderful name indeed."
He looked to Kita and smiled as she had her hand resting to her stomach a tired and pained look in her eyes. "Kita? Are you alright?"
She shook her head as Kisuke stood quickly and swept her up in his arms carrying her toward the shop.
"What's wrong, Kita?!" Yoruichi ask as she followed in behind Kisuke. Yoruichi then turned and looked at Kenji. "Sweety, you and Barnaby come in the house, please."
Kita rubbed at the sides of her stomach and below it her face contorting in pain. "I am cramping."
"Those are not cramps Kita. They are contractions." Yoruichi told her turning from Kenji and Yumiko.
"NO! They can't be." Kita started to panic. "Isshin said November, not the end of September."
"Calm down," Yoruichi told her. "It could just be false labor, but we can't take that chance. We really don't know when you got pregnant, and you're pregnant with a soul reaper's child."
At that the three of them disappeared into the shop Yumiko and Kenji still sitting out front gathering things up to come inside as well.

Yumiko grabbed the bags from shopping, setting them to one side as he helped Kenji situate the rabbit back his box. Kenji looked up at her, eyes wide. “Will Nee-chan be alright, Yumigo?”
Yumiko smiled. “Trust your parents. They’ll take care of her.” He nodded and then grabbed her hand. “I want to show Barnaby my room. Come with me.”
Yumiko nodded with another smile. “I’m coming, but I need to carry these things first. “Can you carry Barnaby?” Kenji nodded vigorously and held the box close to his chest before running towards the house.
Yumiko stood up, watching him, thinking. The group here could always warm her. It was very different from what she could remember and what she had felt visiting the Ryouma clan, her family. Fire entered her vision, flickering like the night everything had changed, shifting into the curtained surroundings where she had been seen by her family, most who were stiff shadows behind the cloth. Where she had not been worthy to meet her brother - siblings now. He had another sister and another brother. Another memory surfaced as Kenji called out to her from the doorway. H er young brother crying. A maid fussing at his dirty clothes from running in the garden as she had worked nearby, arranging flowers with her instructor. Until now. A prick of pain in her finger from missing the corner.
Soon after, she took her brother’s hand and set the repaired ship in his hand. He looked up, dark eyes wet but wide with hope, and then scurried down, sandals flopping, the path to the fountain. His tiny hands let the boat go. The ship floated and he squealed in joy.
“You fixed it, you fixed it!”
Later, with a gold leaf standing proudly, he found a blossom to set in the ship. Drifting.
Yumiko headed inside, brushing away tears and clinging to that day, ignoring the ache building against her temples as the more vivid moment of the fiery night threatened to overtake it. - END RP - "Shadows on Him": |

"Trip to the Park":Yumiko stepped through the Senkaimon behind Ukitake-san. She smiled, calming as he looked back at her and pressed her shoulder. She looked back at the shop. It had been a few days since she had entered Chinmoku's realm, since he had screamed about the loss of his master. The state of the zanpakuto spirit had.... hurt her. Kisuke had found her leaning against the wall with tears in her eyes and after getting the tale from her, had escorted her back to Soul Society, straight to Ukitake. After a gentle scolding about the risk she'd taken, the captain warmed up a cup of hot cocoa. Staying with him lessened a new flow of nightmares.

Juushiro could feel his student's unease and hoped that accompanying her calmed some of the worry in her heart. She was obviously torn between pity at what she had felt in Chinmoku's inner realm and the destruction she had witnessed Vale commit. But he did not want that to keep her from the shop. He could tell that being here helped her cope with all she'd endured so far. It wasn't right for the shadow of a man to hold her back.
He turned back around, just as Kenji nearly bowled over Ururu to get to him. Chuckling and kneeling down, he caught the energetic boy. "Hello, Kenji. I am sorry for the delay."

"Take-jii!" Kenji wrapped his arms around Juushiro's neck and hugged him tightly. "I misseded you!" Kenji let go and smiled at Juushiro. "What are you doing here? Are you here to see daddy?" He wriggled in Juushiro's arms, until he was upside down in Juushiro's grasp. Kenji laughed loudly as Juushiro began to tickle his belly. "Yumigo! Save me!"

Yumiko laughed, smiling lightly and lifted Kenji out of Ukitake’s hands, still upside down. She tilted her head at him. “Are you a monkey or a tiger, hmm?” she asked, glad she had returned.

"I not! I kenji!" he laughed. "I Kenji, Yumigo. I Kenji!" Kenji raised his hands and asked to be turned right side up. When Yumiko held him correctly, he smiled and kissed he cheek. "Yumigo! Can Take-jii see Barnaby?"
