Kisuke could not take his eyes off the beautiful baby boy in his arms as he cooed and talked to the infant. "Aww look at you~ you're sooo~ cute~. Thank goodness you don't look like your daddy. You would scare us all off."
"Alright, old man. That's enough." Vale replied, nudging him to give Kadaj up to him. As Kisuke handed him over, Vale asked again. "What are we doing here?"
Kisuke chuckled, adjusting his hat seeing that new daddy twinkle in Vale's eyes and the smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. "I was told you suffer from a few insecurities with your new son and were a little distraught. I thought we should get together and lay them to rest."

"And, just who told you that?" asked Vale as he kissed the top of his son's head. "My fears are legitimate, I believe. We do stand on opposite sides, Kisuke."
Vale looked to see Ichimaru off on his own. He sighed and walked over to the man. He cleared his throat in hesitation. "Would...Would you like to hold him?"

“Are you sure?” Gin murmured in return.
Vale didn’t say anything, just held Kadaj out.
Gin reached for the bundle and tried to imitate the others with his hold. But when that didn’t feel secure enough, his eyes narrowed. He fumbled and the boy fussed. After a few minutes, he seemed to have settled his arms in the right positions and chuckled to try and keep his anxiety at bay. “Does he always move around so much?” His eyes stayed on the fragile life in his hands.

Kita felt a heavy weight again on her heart, but she pushed it back trying to smile through the pain. Gin had no clue what to do with one so small, he was not lucky enough to enjoy Sojiro's younger years. Forcing a smile across her lips she walked toward the special men in her life as she hummed. "Mhmm," she helped Gin with Kadaj, rubbing his little head as she tucked his blanket back around him to make him feel more secure. "You're tense love, relax. He can feel all the tension coming from you."
As the two looked on at the baby, Kisuke spoke up. "No one told me, Tervaden. I guessed. It was not hard to figure out when I heard the baby was born and Alister said you where in a state." Kisuke walked up to the small group and looked at the beautiful baby boy once more.
Gin shifted Kadaj as he fussed slightly, Gin tensing up again. Kita giggled softly and looked up at Gin. She smiled warmly as he looked from Kadaj into her eyes. The warmth she had missed from him washed over her, but guilt weighed in her heart. She broke eye contact with him and looked to little Kadaj. "He fears he is going to lose Kadaj. Either by my hands, yours or Gin's." Kita spoke freely.

"Again, it is a legitimate fear." Vale stepped back from the two, shoving his hands deep in his pockets. "Kita and Ichimaru...Gin will be together. You will be around my son more than I will. He will see you as his father."
Vale grunted, turning and starting down the path away from the house. "I don't want that..."

Kita broke away from Gin and ran off after Vale grabbing his arm. "NO!" Her voice raised almost at a shout.
This causing everyone to jump including little Kadaj as he cried out. Gin's eyes widened as he looked down at the baby in his arms. He started to rock him or at least what Gin thought was rocking only causing Kadaj to cry louder. Thus causing Kisuke to step in and help him out as he took the baby from the over nervous Snake.
Kita turned Vale to look at her. "I won't let Kadaj grow up without knowing his father. His REAL father and I will not keep you from knowing your son as he is growing up." Her head shook madly tears streaking her cheeks again. "But you can't ask me to give up that right either. If I give him to you he will forget about me and turn to Yumiko as his mother. How is that fair to me?"

Vale turned, grabbing Kita by the arms. "I wouldn't! He needs you more than he needs me. I wouldn't ask to have him." He lifted his hand, pointing to the two men behind them.
"But, them...They will try. Sumi! She will try!"

Suddenly on familiar ground, Gin grinned, making Vale pale further. “Sounds fair to me,” he quipped.
Kita gasped and called his name. But the Snake held up a hand and leaned towards Vale. “If my son had been turned into a killer like his father before him or my wife had become a shadow of herself. But they weren’t.”
He paused and opened his eyes further to look into Vale’s. “I would be worse than Aizen if I were to take him from you.” He looked to the sky. “With or without Aizen on the throne, I have no interest in returning to Las Noches. But that doesn’t mean I belong in Soul Society either. Use your brain to figure out the rest. If you’re intelligent, that is.”

Vale narrowed his eyes, jabbing at the man quickly. His punch hit Ichimaru square in the nose. "Shut up!" shouted Vale. "I don't need you to be a childish prick, right now! I've got enough ripping away at my thoughts. I don't need you insulting me." Vale growled, as he turned away from the snickering snake.
"What the fuck do you see in him?" grumbled Vale as he continued down the path, Kita following behind him. "He's a damn kid, Kita. And, I don't need his special brand of fuckery, right now."

"Vale! Please no one here is going to take Kadaj from you. None of us. Not even Sumi. I won't allow it. Why would I do something or let something like that happen!" She stumbled following him down the small stone steps as she reached out to grab him and he moved away from her. "DAMN IT VALE!" She fell to all fours as she looked up, Vale still continuing on his path to the bottom of the steps.
"I love you, Vale! Please!" Silence fell around them, only the rustling leaves in the trees could be heard. "Please. Trust me." Her head dropped as she pulled her legs under her and sat up, her head shook slightly. "You told me once you trusted me. Why can't you trust me on this?"

Vale turned around slowly. "You what?..." He walked over to Kita, kneeling in front of her. Taking her hands in his, Vale sighed. "You don't mean that...You...You love Gin. You love Gin, Kita." Vale leaned forward and kissed Kita's forehead. "And, I do trust you, love. I just..."
"Haven't you heard by now that this woman can't stop loving others?" Gin called out, walking over and helping Kita off the ground. He kissed her gently and then turned back to Vale. "And when she says it, you're stuck with it. So it's your turn to grow some balls, Wolf."
"Fuck you!" Vale punched Gin in the face again, this time hard enough to draw blood. "I'm done with this shit and pettiness. Send me home, Sumi. I know you're listening. I don't have to deal with this shit."

Kisuke appeared in front of Vale adjusting his hat as he pulled it back to look Vale in the eyes. "No one is going to take your son from you. No one. Not even Sumi." He placed his hand to his shoulder.
"I know the fear you are facing. Its the same I face right now with Kenji. Every minute of the day I wonder how much closer my brother has gotten to him. How much more of his heart has turned dark." Kisuke lowered his eyes. "At least what you are facing is physical. In my case its all mental. If Kenji goes too far. He will be lost to us forever." He looked back up to Vale. "That's why everyday I strive to the full extent to find a way home for all of you. Not just Kita, Sojiro and Yumiko. Everyone in Las Noches. Including you, Tervaden."

Vale looked at Kisuke with a slight shake of his head. "I don't understand why Kenji would be of concern for you. He's not in Las Noches and hasn't been for awhile."
Kisuke's face twisted in confusion.
"I sent him off to do something important long ago." Vale shook his head again. "Listen, I appreciate the effort from all of you." Vale looked at Ichimaru. "Some of you. But,.."
"No buts, Vale." said Kita. "None of us are going to take Kadaj from you. He is a Tervaden and will remain a Tervaden."
"If anything will be taken from you, Wolf, it is your life. Not your son. Even then, he is still yours."
Vale growled, shunpoing toward Ichimaru. He grabbed Ichimaru and slammed him into a tree. As Ichimaru reached for his blade, Vale grabbed it from his side and threw it behind them. Vale spoke to him, his voice barely above a whisper.
"One. I don't like you. You've made a life out of being a childish, manipulative asshole with a sharp tongue. Some people may tolerate your bullshit. But, I won't. Keep it up, and I will make every attempt to end your life despite your immortality. Two. Stop calling me wolf. Stop calling me rogue. My name is Vale Tervaden. If you can't muster the intelligence to let only that come out of your mouth, do yourself a favor and just don't say anything."
As Ichimaru moved slightly in his hold, Vale shunpo'd forcing him through the tree and into another one. "This isn't a game of 'Who can Gin out wit.' Being in Las Noches has either made you careless or fucking stupid. Either way, right now, being an asshole seems to be the only weapon you can use with expert precision. Stop it."

Kisuke walked up behind Vale resting his hand to his shoulder. He spoke softly with a reassuring grip on his shoulder. "Let him go Tervaden." When Vale released the Snake he turned and looked at Kisuke. He motioned with his head.
"Come on we need to talk. Just the two of us." Kisuke walked toward the back of the cottage adjusting his hat. "If you want Kita to join us she can, but we need to talk. I think there is more here than meets the eye."
Kisuke continued his path to the back of the cottage as he watched Kita approach the two men she keeled down at Gin's side as a hand reached up and took Vale's. Vale looked down at her as she smiled warmly and nodded to him. With a sigh Vale combed his free hand through his hair. Slid his hand free of Kita's and followed Kisuke to the back of the cottage.

Vale leaned against the wall of the cottage. "What did you want to talk about, Urahara?" Vale asked with narrowed eyes.
"Should I learn to keep my hands to myself?"
