Kisuke nodded and stood. "Alright then." He lifted Benihime slowly. "Any last request? Anything you want me to tell your unborn son when he is old enough?" He paused again and looked at the Snake on the ground. "Anything you want me to tell YOUR Kita? Oh I am sorry. I mean YOUR Pet."
He stretched out his tight muscles. Benihime above his head as he held on to it with both hands.

“Like you wouldn’t mess it up,” the snake spat, gnashing his teeth in irritation. He still couldn’t move. That rain …. was quite potent. Sighing, he closed his eyes. “You have to get her back first - to say anything to either of them anyways.”
Benihime whistled as it swung towards his head.
And stopped.
Gin’s eyes snapped open and his head swiveled to the shopkeeper as best he could with the blade against his neck. “You bastard! Quit delaying it! You said I’m no good. So do it!” His eyes narrowed. “Do. It,” he hissed. His eyes darkened with a new emotion. “Free her. Free her of this worthless traitor who will only break her heart many more times."
I don't deserve her. I never did.

Kisuke sighed shaking his head, though he did not miss the changed look in the Snake's eyes. Kisuke then moved so quickly, Gin did not have time to blink as he removed Gin's left hand. "Then you won't need that if you're not willing to fight for her."
Gin hissed and clenched his sword hand. “So you play with your food, do you?” he grinned up at his tormentor. “I didn’t know you were that kind of man, shopkeeper.” The broken fox chuckled. “I should tell Kita - oh, wait, you’re killing me."
Kisuke smirked. "Don't let the hat fool you, boy. I am as ruthless as your Master." Benihime came back down and removed his right hand. "And you're right. I am going to kill you, but very slowly. The way you're killing Kita and your son."
"Sojiro isn't even born yet!" Gin hissed, eyes closed, trying to block the pain and loss of his hands from his mind. He would not surrender to fear. He would not.
"That's the sad part of this!" Kisuke growled as Benihime came up again going for one of his legs at the knee. "The poor kid will never get the chance at life." Gin's leg rolled from his body as Kisuke looked at him. "Because his father is a gutless coward that hides from his fears." He walked around behind the bleeding and growling Snake. Benihime rose above Gin again.

“FEAR IS WHAT BREAKS YOU!!” Gin screamed. His teeth ground together audibly, words pouring from his lips like water - or his blood. “If you fear, you doubt your strength. If you doubt, weakness is already a part of your swing…. “ Aizen’s words echoed in his mind. “It’s true. If you’re weak, you will lose. Someone will kill you.” He closed his eyes. “As I have.”
The rest of his Master’s words continued in his mind. “If someone kills you, then you never belonged this close to your goal in the first place.”
Gin fell silent. He’d already lost once, a long time ago…. From the moment he wouldn’t let Rangiku, Ran, any closer to him. Because he feared losing her.

Kisuke quickly kneeled down his eyes narrowed to slits as he grabbed Gin around the neck and squeezed. He lifted the bleeding and dismembered snake slightly from the ground. "You have the nerve to speak of fear--" Kisuke growled his grip tightening more. "When you! Split your soul to prevent completely breaking apart due to your fear?" Kisuke shoved Gin to the ground and stood quickly.
"You're a fucking coward!" Kisuke yelled at him, Benihime rising again above Gin's last remaining leg. "ADMIT IT, ICHIMARU!!"

Gin spat in his face. “You have no idea what I have had to choose, Kisuke,” he snapped. “If I was a coward, I wouldn’t have survived long enough to meet Aizen and enter his circle, let alone meet Ran. I would never have been strong enough to fight Aizen and fail a first time - or return to his side a second time. You have no idea what it takes to do that after what you did for me.”
He lowered his eyes. “But yes, I am a coward when it comes to Kita or Sojiro. I can’t lose them. You don't understand. The war isn't over. It eats away at me." He took a pained breath, his vision wavering. "So I cut them away, clinging to the bare facts. I had to survive because I wasn't alone anymore."
He fell silent again. “Just kill me, Kisuke, and be done with it.”

Kisuke looked at Gin and smiled. "Cry me fucking a river, Ichimaru." Kisuke told him lowering Benihime. "Maybe if you would trust Kita--like I said at the start of this--like she trusts you. Your fears of losing her and Sojiro would be removed. You don't conquer fear by running from it, covering it up or burying it so deep you don't remember the ones that mean the world to you. You face that fear. Take it head on. That's the only way to win."
He offered his hand to Gin, "you have a very strong woman and your unborn child waiting for you to get your head on straight. Think you can finally face this war like a man and not a scared rabbit?"

“I don’t know…” Gin murmured with coughing chuckle. “I don’t like being compared to a rabbit, an animal who can actually die from fear. A snake was better than that.” He closed his eyes. “I’ve done it this way my whole life. It worked. Before Kita and her light. Her hope for a future.” He opened them again, still seeing that same hand. He grinned. “Tell me, Hat-n-Clogs, how are you going take my hand when I only have a head and leg?”

Kisuke grinned, "I think with as far as Kita has gotten you, you will have no problems. You have come a long away, Snake. And now you will have a new light to help you through. Sojiro."
Kisuke then looked across the training grounds and nodded at nothing. Gin turning and looking at nothing as well.

Sumi appeared a wide smile across her lips her hand waving out toward Gin. "Not everything is as it appears, Ichimaru."
Gin quickly looked from Sumi to his body as all pain had disappeared. He watched as his body appeared before his very eyes, like nothing ever happened.

Gin slowly pulled himself to his feet, stumbling as some numb spots remained. He looked to the goddess with a smirk. “What’s that smile for?” he muttered. “I thought you were against me, lady goddess,” he quipped, stumbling again and nearly falling over.

"If I were totally against you, I would have let you die back there with Vale. Don't you think?" She step toward the two men as Kisuke nodded to her.
"Thank you for your help in waking up the scaredy cat." Kisuke told her, cuffing Gin in the back of the head.
Sumi chuckled, "Any day, Urahara." She looked back to Gin and smiled.
"Rest, Gin. Tomorrow we have to get you back to Las Noches. Kita has finally put her foot on top of Sousuke and told him how the game was going to be played if he wanted his gate. She may be strong with my powers, but if he figures out how to make her fold she will be in trouble."
"Why would she do something so foolish?!" Gin growled.
"She thought she had lost you to the darkness. She had to take a stand to protect herself and her unborn child. What would you have her do?" Sumi looked on at him with a raised brow waiting for his answer.

Gin frowned. “Hole up in my room and not let anyone touch me... would be my guess,” he murmured. His eyes narrowed. “I take it Aizen didn’t like that.”
"She was holed up in your room. Aizen made his way in and tried to have his way with her. When she finally put him in place, he told her she had four months or the people she loved most would suffer and he would stop with taking life of her son."
Gin growled deep in his throat. "He threatened our son?!" he hissed. He turned his head to Kisuke who was supporting him on his numb side. "And this facing the fear helps how?" he asked, eyes blazing with rage but still clear. Kisuke chuckled, "Why are you so afraid of this man? You have the powers of a Goddess. As does the woman you love." He smirked at Gin. "Trust her." He tapped the hilt of Benihime over the top of Gin's heart. "Trust this. For the first time in your life, Ichimaru. Fight with your heart and what you believe in. I promise you. You will come out a winner every time."Gin huffed as he looked back to the Goddess with a doubting look in his eyes. She smiled with a soft chuckle. "How do you think, Kita defeated Aizen when he was trying to kill you?" Gin looked away so Sumi continued. "She fought with her heart. For what she believed in. For what she loved. She took all that fear inside of her and aimed it at Aizen. In doing so she sent him home in a heap."Kisuke turned and started their path toward the shop Gin still leaning against him as they walked. Sumi lagging behind as she told Gin. "I have a new power I want to teach you tomorrow before we leave. It will be very helpful and if you can master it in a few days, you will be able to get into Las Noches undetected."Gin whipped his head around and glowered at Sumi. "You could have fucking taught me that sooner!"Sumi only chuckled. "All good things come with time, Ichimaru."~END RP~

"Despicable Move":While in his lab messing around, waiting for Juushiro to come get him to go see Kyoraku, Kisuke was alerted that Aizen had finally made his move. He knew it would only be a matter of time with the way Kita was rebelling against him. In all reality he was shocked that Aizen had not stooped to this level before now, but glad he had not because he would not have been ready for the man if he had.
This time Kisuke had the upper hand, but he had to get them moved before pulling the plug and sending Aizen rage into orbit. First and foremost Kita had to be gotten out of Las Noches. With both Kita and her parents being moved at the same time Aizen would not be able to find them quick enough, which in turn would give Kisuke enough time to set his next plan into play.
It was time for Gin to put his new power into play as well. He just hope with as long as Sumi had been working with the Fox on this, Gin knew it well enough to pull it off to save his and Kita's ass to get them both out of Las Noches alive. Walking up to Gin, but not getting to close, while he trained with Sumi, Kisuke called out to him.
"Ichimaru. We need to talk."

Gin opened his eyes for a moment, acknowledging the interruption, and then closed then again, pulling himself back into the present and not the in-between void Sumi was teaching him to move between. He rose, rubbing his head. He nearly had it down, but that didn’t lessen the headache each time. “This is not a power to be used often,” he grunted at the goddess.
Sumi only shrugged. “I warned you it would be complicated.” She sent a wave of healing to the ache in his head. “Take a break, but don’t take too long.” She faded from view.
Gin shook his head at her and walked over to the shopkeeper. “What is it, Kisuke? I thought you wanted me to get in shape to get Kita out of there.”
