Gin's Bed Chamber:

“Shhhh, Kita,” Gin murmured, kissing her forehead again. He set her on her bed she grabbed his haori. He knelt on the edge of the bed with her. “I need to give him a new focus beyond you and your growing powers.”

“I can handl-“

“Whether you can handle him or not, I won’t let you,” Gin stated, emphatic.

 
Kita lowered her head, and he reached out to lift it. “You have enough on your mind with these powers and what it brings from within you. That kind of power can destroy you, and it’s not something that Sumi can help you with. It is something I am limited in, too. It’s your soul, Kita dearest. Right now, you know what’s right and what’s wrong. The proof is your asking the question.”

 
“But you don’t have to-“

Gin lifted Shinsou from his belt. “I have more than one reason for this course of action, Kita.”

“What do… you mean?” she asked, voice quieter, calmer.

He lowered his zanpakuto. “I need to accomplish something before this ends, and I need Aizen to do it.”

She nodded then grasped his haori again. “Don’t push him, Master. Gin, please.”

Gin shook his head. “I can’t promise that, dearie, but I can promise that he will not be tearing me apart as he did before.”

“How? How can you protect yourself?”

“Because it will be on my terms,” Gin explained. “If he had acted on my kiss when I arranged it, his actions that evening wouldn’t have affected me as they did, well, most of them. If he hadn’t involved your submission in it, I would have managed to survive. I always do. This time, I am setting the bait, and even if he takes a pound of flesh from me now,” he looked deep into her eyes, his own clear and fierce with power, “I will be taking my own reward.”

Gin nodded then chuckled. "After all, there's an Espada on the warpath out there~" he pointed out with a grin. Kita giggled. 

He kissed her gently. "I will be careful, dearie. Get some rest.   You've been hard at work for awhile. You deserve a break." He turned around.  "Don't worry. Security won't even let Aizen come in until I return, and there's still a badass Goddess on your side."

"Setting Up":

As soon as Gin walked through the door, Kita leapt from her bed in the other room, froze at the sight of his bloody form until he grinned reassuringly, as she then barreled into him.  He chuckled as she smiled in obvious relief and Gin couldn't help but smile in return, even with Aizen's latest move against him.

"By morning Loki. I don't care what it takes. Kill him if you have to, but I want him locked up tight and away from Kita."

It had been a good thing he had bugged the throne room when Aizen had been busy with his 'queen'.

Why do I have the feeling she's going to be the hardest one to free, Goddess' help or not, he muttered to himself.

The fox nearly stumbled as Kita grabbed the collar of his haori and pulled him down to her level.

Gin gathered her into his arms. “How can you even see that small scrape when I am already covered in blood?” he teased lightly. She still pouted at him. “I’m fine, dearest, and your heart will survive.” He kissed her forehead and then stood up, pulling her over to his console, and sitting down with her in his lap.

Sighing in exasperation and relief, she leaned back against him. “Shouldn’t you clean yourself up before playing with me,” she murmured, as his chin settled on the top of her head.

 
“Later,” he whispered, “this is more important. We may be separated soon, so I need you to pay attention.”

And with that, Gin taught Kita how to operate and check the cameras on his console and how to lock, enable, and disable the various traps he had created for her protection and his amusement. He also taught her how to change the password on the entrance lock.

 
“It will turn into a puzzle lock with this command and this will change the level. Use your master code to override it,” he explained, moving her hand and the mouse for a third time. “Understand?” he asked. She nodded slowly. “Good,” he stated.

“I wish there weren’t blind spots with the cameras,” she murmured.

 
“Why?” he asked.

“Because three of the places not included would be helpful in being assured you were safe.”

Gin frowned slightly. “I recently disabled the cameras in the torture and prison chambers, Szayel’s chambers always interfere with my technology, and Aizen removes any camera I install in his rooms or the throne room. It’s easier to install bugs in that room.”

"That time will come soon enough, Kita," he murmured for her ears only. "Keep practicing, learning, and that time will come. Trust your friends, and be true to yourself."

Kita shook her head vigorously. "I hate that he's separating us. I hate it! Whatever you're planning better be worth it."

Gin reached into a drawer and pulled out a vial, placing it in her hand. "Hide this where no one can get it but you, and when the time comes, you will know what to do with it and what to demand in exchange for your cooperation."

Gin chuckled. "Tempting as that is, I think we should refrain from that course of action." He wrapped his arms around her again after she shifted in his lap. He grinned and pushed some hair out of the way to whisper in her ear.  "It is actually the solution to freeing Cero from being frozen for all eternity without melting him, bones and all," he purred.  "When he steps into his tower, it is sure to activate~"
