He slid his fingers under her chin and lifted her head to look at him. "Show me. I am very interested to see what you have learned."
Kita nodded as Aizen stepped back from her, lifting both her arms this time. Aizen watched as she channeled her thoughts and concentrated on the tree before her. When the tree exploded, Aizen smirked.
"Another good defensive attack." Aizen replied, his hand waved her onward to show him more as she turned slightly to look at him.
She turned back to the same tree lifting her arms once more, Aizen curiosity piqued, wondering what she would do to the now abolished tree. When it reformed his eyes filled with amusement.
He chuckled lightly and stepped toward her his hand resting on her shoulder. "I guess I should not be amazed at this. You are wielding the power of Goddess." He looked into her eyes when she turned to look at him. "What else, Kita?"

"That is all at the moment," Kita replied. "She says I need to work on my concentration before I can move forward."
"She is human, after all. Can't have everything at once, Aizen-san," Gin commented from his place against the tree. He casually swung Shinsou to cut a few leaves in half and broke a branch in the process.
He chuckled. "Mind fixing that, dearie?" he called over.
Kita looked to Aizen first who nodded. Her brow furrowed and she raised her hands. A few moments passed and then the branch rose, repairing itself.
"It's more difficult with smaller targets," Gin continued as his pet lowered her hands. Watching closely through his bangs and seeing Kita lose some of her enthusiasm, he called out again to his master. "You know those particular powers remind me of Inoue's. I wonder what that means."
Aizen didn't get a chance to respond as another Shinsou whipped from above them, cutting a few branches off the same tree.

Kita sighed, "Stop removing branches, Master Gin."
"Who said he did that?" Yumiko called out as she walked over, Mizue returning to her normal state. There was a bite in her voice. "You're right abut one thing, Ichimaru-san. Smaller targets are harder."
She looked to Kita. "But then again, I only tried once."
Even if it was just a name, it seemed Kita was letting it go to her head. She already had Ichimaru. Why did she get Aizen's attention now as well? Yumiko's hand tightened on her zanpakuto, shaking slightly. She was getting angry again.

Kita looked to Yumiko her eyes narrowed in confusion. "What's with her?" Kita thought to herself. She turned to the tree lifting her hands once more and repaired the branches. She looked back to her master who had a peculiar look in his eyes as well due to Yumiko's change.
"So how long has Sumi been awake?" Aizen asked looking to Gin.
Kita cleared her throat. "Excuse me Master Aizen," She bowed slightly. "No disrespect, but shouldn't that question be asked of me?"
Aizen looked back at Kita and smirked. "Well~. Is our sprite little Kita returning to us?"
Kita looked up and stepped back as Aizen stepped toward her. She shook her head. "It's just Master Gin would not know. So I thoug--"

Reaching for Kita he stopped her in mid sentence as his fingertips brushed against her cheek Aizen smirked. "You thought what, Kitten?"
He stepped closer to Kita his smirk widening. "So when did she awaken?"
His hand slowly caressed back toward Kita's ear, his hand then quickly captured by another's hand. Aizen turned, his eyes finding Yumiko.
"Are you alright, Hime?"

"You didn't notice," she murmured, hurt, partly to herself. Then, Aizen's question reached her. Her rage flared and broke free. Blue violent eyes flashed as she glared.
"No, I am not," Yumiko spat. Aizen's eyes widened but she didn't care. "I had never done that before. You've been trying to get me to master Mizue no Kagami since you found me and when I do, you don't even notice!" she hissed. She tore his hand from Kita's cheek, tears pooling in her eyes. "How is it just a silly name when you didn't even notice that?" Her hand tightened on his. "I did it for you. It's just her powers you need. You don't need to touch her. Not when-"
She stopped talking abruptly and threw herself into his arms, kissing him as deeply as she could, still crying. She started shaking more as the strain of using Shinsou's reflection fell together with her keen distress. She didn't let go of her love. He belonged to her, not that human. Her!

Gin's eyes narrowed as he watched Yumiko's actions, for a moment forgetting about Kita. The noble could now wield a reflection of Shinsou. His Shinsou which everyone hated to fight against. His edge. If she were to use it against him or Kita.... For some reason, the woman was unstable now and there something mean in her. He focused on her as she kissed his master as thoroughly as could manage. Her quiet personality seemed displaced too. What had Szayel done? Or was this in accordance with his master's wishes?
And was there a way to prepare himself for the small chance he would have to fight Shinsou in order to get to Aizen?
This was not an obstacle he had thought through.
Forgetting her powers wasn't smart of me, he murmured to himself.

Breaking from the kiss Aizen looked into Yumiko's eyes. She was truly hurt by him not acknowledging her attempt in impressing him with reflecting Shinsou's powers. He smirked and cupped her cheek.
"Yes I did notice, Hime. However, I needed to get some insight on when Ichimaru's Pet gained access to her powers. It is something we all have been striving for since she first arrived here."
He kissed her forehead and looked to Ichimaru once more. "I want these powers improved by the end of the week."
Ichimaru was taken aback. "Two days?" His hand lifted rubbing the back of his neck. "She is only human, Aizen-san."

Kita started growing annoyed at the conversation they were having. And Yumiko and her little fit of jealousy was just too much. She turned her back to them and looked at the tree she just pieced back together. She shook her head their words still falling on her ears.
Hearing Aizen give the order to Gin her heart skipped a beat, "Two days?!" She was shocked but she knew she could do it with the proper training. After all, she was trained how to defend herself in less than four days. She could do this. She knew she could she smiled brightly and looked to the tree with a new resolve. Her heart then felt as if someone stabbed her with a hot blade. It was her masters words.
"Two days? She is only human."
She lowered her head with a sigh. "He don't believe me. He don't think I can do it." Kita thought to herself. "NO! I can do this! I will prove to them... To Master Gin. I CAN DO THIS!"
She lifted her hand at the tree, her eyes narrowed, she flicked her fingers as the leaves burst from the branches. About twenty-five to thirty leaves filled the sky around the tree. She raised her hand and went to work. Before anyone had looked her way Kita had cut all but three of the leaves in half. Finishing the last three she turned to a nearby Ice Green rose bush and removed three of the roses. As they started to fall to the ground she caught them with yet another power Sumi had taught her. She brought them her directions and presented them to her master. Laying them at his feet.
"I can do it." She told him. "Have a little more faith in me, Master Gin."
Kita started to slowly turn feeling a tickle at her nose. When she lifted her hand to her nose and pulled it back there was blood on her hand. Her eyes widened as she quickly turned from the small group.

As the scent of blood filled the air, Gin flashed to Kita's side in an instant. He frowned and handed her a cloth, catching her in the next moment as she stumbled. "You pushed yourself too far," he murmured.
'Maybe that wouldn't have happened if she had focused on her job," came Yumiko's acidic voice. She laughed. "But then again, she is only human." Gin's eyes narrowed then -
Gin chuckled, setting Kita down. "Since you didn't get a reaction from Aizen-san the first time, Yumiko-chan, care to show Mizue's powers again? Or are you shaking too much?" he said, tone mock nonchalant.

Yumiko's shoulders stiffened as she felt the rage Aizen had calmed rise back up. How dare Ichimaru compare her to that human he was stuck caring for?! Stepping away from Aizen, she drew Mizue and morphed her blade her shikai form. The mirror-like ring of her zanpakuto soothed her nerves as the black and white ribbons at the end twined around each other twice. In a moment, her anger returned and her eyes narrowed, focusing on one point.
She gathered her energy. Mizue glowed in her hands.
"Cast away the ripple," she whispered.
Mizue's weight changed and she flung the reflection of Shinsou out, splitting the tree above Ichimaru in half.
She casually lowered her blade as Mizue faded back to a normal katana.

When the replica of Shinsou shot over her masters head barely missing him, Kita spun facing Yumiko with narrowed eyes. Her arm then shot up in front of her as her hand closed tightly. Yumiko gasp as an invisible force wrapped around her body tightening by the second. Kita growled her eyes narrowing more as she heard Yumiko cry out to Aizen. Kita's fist clenching tighter as a fine trickle of blood streamed down over Kita's lips. Yumiko cried out again dropping her sword.
"This is your only warning, Yumiko Ryouma. If you ever send an attack my Masters way again. You will not walk away from it. I promise you that."
Feeling her masters hand on her shoulder Kita dropped Yumiko as she fell to her hands and knees in front of them. Kita then walked up to Yumiko, her rage still strong as she pushed her fingertips against Yumiko's forehead making her look up at her.
"When you have to copycat someone elses powers, that must mean your powers fail in comparison." Kita stepped back letting Yumiko's head fall forward again. She turned, walking back toward her master's side. "Don't try me again, Yumiko."
When she stopped in front of Gin she looked into his eyes and gave him a soft smile. That was the last thing she remembered before everything turned black.

Kita's words clawed through her mind. She couldn't get rid of them, and she couldn't move. Even if the human had taken away the pain, her limbs still felt like jelly. Tears of shame ran down her face and mixed with her fury. This wasn't supposed to be the way it went. Shaking, she reached for Mizue.

Aizen kneeled beside Yumiko touching her hand that reached for Mizue. When she looked up to him quickly, he only shook his head and took hold of her arm along with Mizue in his other hand and helped her stand. He handed her her sword and looked to Ichimaru which was resting to the ground with Kita in his arms across his lap. He wiped the blood from her face, softly calling out her name. Kita's eyes fluttered open and focused on her master.
Aizen looked to Yumiko which was now standing on her own. He released her arm and stepped toward Ichimaru. He kneeled down next to them both brushing the hair from Kita's face.
"I will let this slide this time since you were protecting your Master, but you had better get control of these new found powers quickly." He then looked to Ichimaru. "Nine months. No more. No less. Is that understood?"
Aizen stood before either of them could speak directly to him.

In the past few moments, Gin had felt rage, surprise, and then surprise again. Now a wave of relief swept over him, washing any his spike of worry. There had been no mistaking the warning in Aizen's dark eyes as he had gently brushed Kita's hair aside. Kita would not be attacking Yumiko again without dire consequences. In fact, his master had probably spared Kita because she had shown those new powers. Gathering his pet into his arms, Gin rose with her against his chest.
Aizen was waiting with Yumiko for his reply. She looked like hell had walked over her, pale and shaken. The snake almost felt sorry for her. Almost. He grinned. "It will be as you have ordered, Aizen-san," he called out. Bowing, he dismissed himself.
Kita stared up at him with glassy eyes, barely conscious but not in danger of losing her life. There were questions in those bleary eyes. His hands tightened around her figure.
Later, my pet. Later.
Glancing around behind him, he kissed her forehead. "Good girl, dearie~"
