Gin scoffed. "For one of Vacanze's fraccion, he was surprisingly weak and small." Aizen chuckled and for a moment, Gin almost believed the strange bond he he'd built with this dangerous man was still intact. A moment later, he swung the dagger back towards Aizen, watching him silently raise the ivory case and sheath it.
"What gives you the impression Septima, who needed a restraining order from you to keep from changing, would suddenly want to harm the girl who started his change?" he questioned afterwards.
It's over, and you know that. |

Aizen placed the hairpin back to the table and looked to Ichimaru. "Kita did not tell you?" A wicked grin crossed his lips. "I thought maybe Kita's lashing out could have been because I took her from Septima. So I took her by his place yesterday."
He shook his head and sighed. "It seems we caught him at a bad time. He and Azayaka were having sex and Kita bore witness. Kita was so crushed." With a pause and a thinking look in his eyes, Aizen then chuckled. "It seems Septima told Kita he loved her and the poor girl fell for it. I never thought Kita would be that foolish. An Espada in love?" Aizen chuckled, "They had words. Kita told him she hated him and never wanted to see him again. For a moment I actually felt sorry for Kita, but only for a moment." He smirked.
"Septima has not changed, he played you both."

Gin only grinned fiendishly. "If he goes for Kita, then I will rip off his head just as I did his fraccion and wait to do to Cero. Simple as that."

Aizen chuckled. "If you kill all my Espada, Ichimaru then what will that leave me with?" He cocked his head. "Are you going to take a stand with the ladies and fight for my goal?" He chuckled again. "I thought for sure you had turned on me no longer looking at me as your master."
Aizen smirked and lifted from the couch.

Again, it had felt like nothing had changed between them. For another moment.
Gin snickered quietly. It had been a while since his former master had turned that charisma on his protégé, and a lesser man would have a hard time not falling for it. Combined with his persuasion, it was one of Aizen's most potent traps. He followed the man with his eyes. He had his own way of countering it.
"And I thought you had the ability to revive your army. Is that only true with the Cero?" he fired back. |

Aizen laughed. "Only if I have the pieces to put back together." He looked to Ichimaru. "You have tendencies of leaving nothing behind with Shinsou." He stepped toward Ichimaru his eyes narrowing slightly.
"You should count yourself lucky, Ichimaru." Aizen stopped in front of him. "You're still needed--If you were not." Aizen's hand shot up to grab Ichimaru around the neck, Ichimaru grabbing Aizen's wrist stopping him.
Aizen smirked a calm manor in his eyes as he looked into Ichimaru's half slitted eyes. "I could kill you right now, old friend and the only one that would morn your death would be Kita. And that would only be until I destroyed the rest of her memories."

Gin's slitted eyes were likewise calm, concentrating only on the man he had once called master. "You know as well as I do, old friend," he emphasized, "that if you take Kita's memories - and erase me from her - you will have no way of controlling the goddess." He smirked. "As long as you need the seraph as one of your precious "Angels,' you will need me," he stated confidently.
His smirk grew. "It's too bad, really. You have to keep watching your back. The angel Yumiko is not nearly strong enough to worry me yet." |

The hand in Ichimaru's grasp tightened into a fist, Aizen's eyes narrowing more. His other hand then came slowly upward and patted Ichimaru on the cheek as he chuckled softly. "You can lash out as much as you want. You will never kill me, Ichimaru."
Aizen broke free of his grasp and turned his back on him. "You will never be strong enough to achieve that goal, but each strike you take against me--" he looked over his shoulder at Ichimaru and smirked. "Will be a deeper gash I will take out of you precious pet's soul."

Kita and Yumiko walked out from the back rooms, Kita now wearing a plain white kimono. When they entered the room you could have cut the tension with a knife. The women looked to each of the men, Yumiko going to Aizen's side and Kita making her way slowly to Gin's. Kita was not completely healed, but Yumiko was able to heal her enough that simple or daily movements would not reopen the wounds and her stiffness and soreness were still present. Though it did not matter. Kita was grateful to Yumiko for her help and she made sure she was aware of it before they left the bathroom.
Stepping up to Gin's side, Kita stood close enough that it hid Gin's clenched hand at his side. Letting her hidden hand caress over his and take hold of it Kita squeezed her hand gently but firmly around Gin's.
"Thank you again, Yumiko. I will never forget your kindness." Kita told her as Yumiko smiled warmly at her. Kita then looked to Gin with the same warm smile. He was rigid and seemed annoyed, she could feel his emotion flowing off him like heat from a flame and he refused to take his eyes off the man in front of them.
"What did Aizen say to him to make him this way?" Kita thought to herself.

"I'm glad I was able to help," Yumiko replied, "and that all is forgiven between us."
Yumiko was battling with her own confusion as they exited the back rooms. The injuries to Kita's body had been appalling and she would not say who had delivered the most damage, the Espada or the nameless, dead hollow. Then there was the tension in the room when they had entered. It bore down on her, in spite of Aizen's smile. She couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason he had called Ichimaru his occasional friend. Perhaps she would ask him over dinner.
Yumiko took Aizen's hand. "I did what I could for Kita. She should be out of any danger now, but I would guess she would need more time to heal."

Aizen smiled at her cupping her cheek. "Yes, I am sure she will and Ichimaru will make sure she gets plenty of it." He looked to Ichimaru and smirked. "Is that not right, Ichimaru? Keeping her locked tightly behind this door. You never know--" Aizen paused taking Yumiko's arm and linked it with his. "Who might come for her next."
Aizen looked to Yukimo. "Shall we go then?"

Bastard.
Gin couldn't pretend to ignore that threat on Kita, on top of the other one made before the ladies had returned; however he couldn't act on it. Besides, what he had wanted from this experience had been accomplished. Yumiko may doubt her ties to the espada and Kita's wounds had been seen to. He bowed to his former master and his lady.
"Thank you for your assistance, Yumiko. I'll be sure to call on you again if we have need of you and have my surveillance at its best from now on."
Yumiko nodded then returned Aizen's smile. Gin could see that her mind had switched to her lord and master.
That particular bond would be more difficult to disrupt.

Kita smiled at Yumiko and bowed slightly to both as they made their way out the door. As soon as the door clicked closed Kita looked to Gin. Still having hold of his hand she gently tugged him toward the bedroom. He followed her without question.
They walked in the room as Kita released his hand and closed the door behind them. Gin turned and looked at her with questioning eyes.
She stood at the door and looked at him for a second then walked up and took his hand leading him to the foot of the bed. She sat them both down, turning to face him she spoke.
"Aizen took me to see Vacanze yesterday."

Gin nodded. "I know. Aizen told me about it in great sympathetic detail."
Kita could not help but giggle as she cast her eyes down looking at her hands. "Does he believe that Vacanze and I are finished?" She looked back up at Gin.
"I believe so," he replied in a neutral voice. "At the very least, he wanted it to seem to me like you were."
Kita sighed. "I know Vacanze believed my act." Gin looked at her confused as she quickly shook her head. "I am getting ahead of myself. I am sorry." She adjusted herslef next to him and smiled. "Vacanze and I were lucky enough to get together one last time without getting caught. It seems he has been to see Kisuke the shopkeeper. They have been plotting together."
Gin chuckled. "This will be interesting to see," his eyes narrowed, "provided you don't get caught in the middle." He set a hand on his chin. "What did you talk about with Yumiko while I kept Aizen focused on me?"

Kita shook her head. "Nothing much. She wanted to know which of my attackers did the damage to me. I would not tell her. We talked about her green eyed monster." Kita giggled softly. "It seems you were right. Szayel was the one that had a hand in that. But anyway." She grabbed his hand taking it in hers. "I need your help to make Aizen and Azayaka believe that Vacanze and I have broken ALL connections. Vacanze has to win her back over to make their plan work."
She looked into Gin's eyes nodding her head. "You can help me do that, right? I will be safe. I doubt this could come around to point at me."
