Kisuke shook his head. "We should not need a lure in this matter, but if needed you're the next in line for it."
"NO!" Kita expressed as she stepped forward then stopped short.
She looked between Gin and Kisuke. "Aizen wants Gin dead. You can't do that. I--" she stopped short casting her eyes down for a moment that looked to Kisuke. "Sojiro needs his father. Don't let Aizen take him from him like he has in the past."
Kisuke watched her as tears started to pool in her eyes, her head then hung as her hand lifted to wipe them away. Once they were dried, she looked back up. He walked toward her wrapping his arms around her and gave her a hug. "Why don't you turn in. You're tired. It has been a long day for us all."
Her head shook slowly. "I am fine."
Kisuke sighed hugging her again then took her hand and led her back over to the chair. "Then at least sit and relax while we talk." He assisted her in sitting then turned back to the others. With a sigh he adjusted his hat.
"Now to figure out how to get him here." He looked between the two. "Any ideas on that?"

“Unless you can get him here in two days’ time,” Captain Kuchiki murmured, “then the focus needs to shift into what to do about the Ayakashis' visit.”
Gin growled quietly and Kisuke looked to him. “That also brings up another point.”
“What is that?” Kisuke asked.
“Sada Teruo. Can your cube contain him or another of the Ayakashi if Aizen were to be accompanied in order to appear even more intimidating?”
Byakuya looked to the shopkeeper. “That is a fair question. In addition, if we were to trap Aizen, would some come to his aid and render the trap void?”

Kisuke rubbed his chin in thought. "Hm, you know I do not really know. It's like the original containment cube I created. It can only be entered but not exited until the one that executed the opening dies or they close it." His hand lifted again as he rubbed his chin once more. "To my knowledge; no one has ever attacked one to try to get the cube to close, and no one has ever reported anything in that manner."
He looked to Byakuya and Gin with a wide grin. "Want to be test subjects tomorrow?" He then looked to Sumi and Kita before they could even answer. "We could use your power as well. Lets hit with everything we got." He looked back to Gin and Byakuya, "She can start out hitting it at with a low power source and amp it up with each hit. If it can take a hit from Sumi, even at half her power," he grinned. "I think it can withstand the power of Aizen's Hell Hounds the Ayakashi and Sada."

Kuchiki nodded. “That seems the proper way to go about your test. You could even throw every captain at it.” Kisuke clapped his hands but the noble captain overrode him with a firm statement. “That does not answer the question of whether you can get him here in two days. And if the answer is in the negative, you have to focus on that attack first.”

Kisuke grinned. "I think I have a way, but I have to keep it quiet or his Seer will run his mouth about it." He adjusted his hat. "It will work. If I know Aizen, and I do. He will be here. Alone."
He looked to Kita. "But I am sorry to say, it will take her leading him here." He then looked to Sumi. "I am going to tell you to stay out of this. I don't want Aizen knowing you're back."
"I am sure the Soul King has made my return unnoticeable to Koga. If he had not, Aizen would be here knocking on your door as we speak," Sumi informed him.
"This is true. So then I do want you hidden away. You can stay close, but I want your powers completely sealed. Nothing is to be noticed. Kita is to have her own reiatsu and hers only. If things get out of hand, then you know what to do."
Sumi only nodded to him as he returned her gesture. His eyes turned to Gin who was yearning to speak his mind. "What is it, Ichimaru? I know you got something to say. I can see it in your eyes."

“Nothing much,” he murmured, azure eyes clear. “I still believe I can trust you.” He grinned. "But if I am not involved in this plan of yours, shop keep, I will be highly disappointed in your abilities to disturb AND disrupt your brother. And then we will have a disagreement. Will that suit you?”
He would be nearby when this went down or he would be changing the status quo between them.
"And you may have to speak to Tetsuya so he doesn't leap, either."

"Seto will stay out of this or I will be kicking his ass." Kisuke expressed. "He was made dead to Aizen for a reason." He looked to Sumi.
"So Aizen would leave the man alone. He was starting to get his footing under him and Kita is happy with her situation as it stands. Though I am still worried that his half bother might disobey their father and try to stir up a mess here."
"His half brother--" Kisuke palmed his face with a heavy sigh. "By the Gods! It's Alister isn't it?!"
Sumi and Kita both nodded slowly as they looked at Kisuke.
"So you're telling us that Alister is Seto's half brother?" Gin grumbled.
Kita nodded slowly again. "Everything that Alister was doing to Seto was out of some kind of messed up sibling rival. He threw Seto's life into a spiral and it was all downhill. Well... at least until he got bored with him or when Seto got fed up and told him to get lost. Seto still does not know all this. His father wanted to be the one to talk to him." She looked to her folded hands in her lap. "I just hope it is soon."
Kisuke nodded to Kita as he looked to Gin. "And don't worry about being part of this. You're still the best swordsmen the Gotei has seen. I have not counted you out. You just have to remember you won't have Shinsou's powers in there." He looked to Kita. "None of us will."

Gin grinned. “I don’t need your warning. Not after who I was training to kill. It may be a draw between us, but if you take,” he held up his hand and started to tap his fingers, one by one, “kido, reiatsu, zanpakuto, and any other funny pieces of the equation, what’s left is the naked blade. That is still where I am deadliest, and that includes Aizen. Even if your daughter has declawed or decoded most of the other tools of my trade~”
“Hey!” Kita exclaimed.
Gin smiled, having been successful at distracting her momentarily from the dull worry looming in her eyes.
He set his arm against the arm of the couch and leaned his hand against his hand, eyes back on the shopkeeper. “If it works as it should, your little cube will make this the third time where the stakes are even between the black king and his assassin. The first time, I destroyed him forthright with my powers then was pulverized by the Hougyoku. The second, after my heart had been laid bare, I took that same organ away from him... and slipped into a coma.” He tilted his head. “What will happen this time, I wonder~ After so much slipping and sliding..."

Kita shook her head. "Think we could stay clear of the comas this round? Just a good old fashion ass beating on his part would be good." She lifted her hand giving a careless wave. "I would prefer you take his head this time and end it."
Sumi looked to Kita with narrowed eyes. "Do you crave his death that badly?"
Kita looked to Sumi from where she sat a wicked smile across her lips. "You could say that or more so...I crave his blood. I want to make sure this man is more than dead. I want to paint the land with his blood. Then burn his body to ash. Then grind his teeth and anything else that might not have burned, to dust, then burn it and his body's ashes until there is nothing else left but cold hard black cinders. Then crush those and scatter them to the wind. I want this man erased from existence."
She looked from Sumi to the others in the room. "I want him to never be able to exist again." Her eyes and the look on her face matched the tone of her voice. Cold and dark.

The noble stayed quiet, waiting for the silence to be broken by another of the people in the room, those closer to the vessel in the room, for a few moments. But he would give them no longer. There was too much at stake.
“If that is the tone and wish a mother makes, then the rumors are more true than your comrades would like to believe. You were corrupted in Las Noches. By all who dwelled there. And its taint lingers and poisons you still.” Ichimaru’s hands spasmed or it could have been a change in the lighting of the room. He was remaining quiet. “And if that is true, you have no right to a goddess’ powers. Not if you are going to remain in this state.” He looked to the shopkeeper. “Her mindset is dangerous to your operation.”

Kita giggled softly as she stood from her chair slowly and looked to Byakuya. "If you think that of me with that little comment. I would love to hear your thoughts on my real feelings about Aizen and the human race."
Kisuke rushed toward her an uncomfortably smile across his lips. "I think its bed time for our little vessel! She is must be more tired than I thought." An uncomfortable chuckle slipped from Kisuke as he stepped up behind her and nudged her gently toward the bedroom. "Sleep well, Sweetie." He told her with a look from under his hat that told her 'GO! GO NOW!'.
Kita looked back to him from over her shoulder as she noticed Kisuke look to Gin. His expression changing to 'GO! GO NOW!' to 'Get her the HELL out of here before shit hits the fan!'. Kita looked toward Byakuya as he stepped toward her to get between her and the door to the bedroom, but Gin was closer and quicker in this case. Getting to Kita first.

As the noble took a step forward, Gin shunpo’ed. Kita squawked as she was hoisted into his arms and he tipped forward into a bow, forcing her arms to cling to him. “Sorry, Byakuya-kun," he quipped, "she’s got to rest. Babies and all that good stuff~”
As the noble stood there, torn between shock and dawning rage at the old use of his name, the Fox winked at the shopkeeper and opened the bedroom door, disappearing inside it with Kita. Locking the door, he set her down on her feet again. His hand lingering on her waist a few more moments before he stepped back and leaned against the door.
It sounded like Kisuke was getting a lecture from the noble in the other room.
He chuckled, knowing his turn of phrase probably hadn’t helped the man’s current temperament. “That could have been an unusually large blunder, dearie.”

Kita stepped toward the bed. "Why hide what I am? My feelings have not changed on anything. It is who I am." She turned in her path and looked at Gin. "I controlled my powers and emotions for the most part back then. I can do it again."
Gin frowned slightly. "But then you tore soul society apart when you couldn't and fell down the rabbit hole." He looked into her eyes. "You may not come out next time." His lips lifted into a grin again, not really wanting to dwell on the past or the anxiety he himself had felt at her words. "And telling that particular noble really won't get you any points. And you kind of need them if your son is dating his soon-to-be unfortunate daughter-in-law."
"Our son." Kita reminded him as she turned again and walked over to the bed and sat down. She looked to Gin a soft smile forming on her lips. "Have you met her?" She ask avoiding the building tension between them.

Gin shrugged. “From a distance so far. He probably doesn’t know I was watching at that moment.” Warmth flickered from underneath his silver bangs. “She’s very pretty. And he’s stuck on her. Probably was before he knew it.” He paused, his grin freezing, and then waved a hand. “He reminds me of someone else we know.”
“By the way,” he added in another moment, “if you’re pouting about that, like the shopkeeper is, I don’t think it’s been that long of relationship. His friends are still teasing him ragged and he’s still blushing about it~”

Kita giggled shaking her head. "It will knock him over like a strong wave beating down on the shore when it happens. The poor boy won't know what happen and he will be sucked under even more." She lifted her eyes and looked at Gin.
"At least that is how it happened to me. I don't even know how or when it happened. It just did." She paused with a soft sigh. "I just hope he is more prepared for it than I was at his age."
