Naomi closed her menu and looked at Tsukiro. "Since you know him and know what's good. I am going to let you choose for me." She smiled brightly sliding her menu across the table.
As she did so the waitress walked up with their drinks setting them to the table. "Are you ready to order?"

Tsukiro looked to the waitress and said with a grin. "Tell Sejin Tsukiro wants two of his usual. He'll know exactly what to bring us."
The waitress bowed and scurried off.
Tsukiro smiled at Naomi and reached into his haori. "I have something for you." He pulled out a wrapped box and handed it to her. |

Naomi took the box from Tsukiro with an odd look on her face. "What is this?" She sat it in front of her and opened it slowly. There sitting in the box, the dove combs she saw at the merchants stand.
Her eyes lit up and before either of them knew what happen, Naomi quickly lend over wrapping her arms around Tsukiro's neck and kissed him on the lips.

Tsukiro gave out a small grunt of surprise. When he recovered, he put his arms around her and kissed her back gently. When they pulled back he smiled at her and laughed. "You're welcome."
Then, suddenly, his expression fell. He pulled Naomi around to his side and set her in his lap, wrapping his arms around her. "Naomi, I have something to tell you. And I don't want it to drive you away. I'm telling you this to protect you."
He brushed her hair back. "There is someone that I care about more than anything else in this world and the next. However, the two of us cannot be together right now. But we made promises to each other. I promised her that I would wait for her, and that I would be there for her when she came back. She promised me that we would work things out when she returned. Now, I don't want to hurt you by leading you on or letting you believe things that aren't true. So I'll tell you this: When she returns, I have to go to her. I WILL go to her. She is my everything. Everything I do, I do for her."
He kissed her cheek. "However, I also want to make you happy. You deserve happiness. I want to give that to you. Whether as someone very close to you, or as a friend. I want to do everything I can for you--everything that is in my power and that I am able to do. I don't want you to suffer. That's why I'm telling you this now. I don't want to lie to you and lead you on, only to leave you hurting in the end. I would very much love to be your friend. And if you want more than that, I will give it to you for as long as I can. And after that, I hope that we could still be great friends. But this is your choice. So with what I've told you, you are free to make your decision as to whether you want to be close to me. I just want you to have he happiness you deserve."
He kissed her cheek again. |

Naomi looked at Tsukiro her expression blank. "If you love her so much and you're going to work things out, why did you kiss me back?" He only looked at her as she moved from his lap back to her chair. She looked at him again shaking her head.
"Tsukiro," She reached for his hand taking it in hers. "Your ideas on this are all noble and kind, but that's not how things work. At least in the way of love. Your..." Naomi paused. "Girlfriend?" Tsukiro nodded. "I am sure she knows your kind heart and how you want to help everyone out, but if you have been with me and we fall in love..." She paused again. "Is that really fair to either of us? I know I am not going to want to share you with her and I am sure if she loves you. She is not going to want to share you. And no matter how much one of us tells you we can live with being friends with you." She sighed. "It's a lie."
"I appreciate the gesture of you wanting to take care of me, but that's what a lover and a soul mate does for the one they love. Friends are just that. Friends. There is no more than a hug or a friendly kiss on the cheek and they're there when they need a peep talk."
She released his hand. "I want more than that."

Tsukiro nodded with a look of guilt, even though he was smiling. Yet that smile was pained. "I know. I'm the kind of person who wants everyone to be happy. But lately, I've found that that has been impossible as of late. That's why I left you to chose. That's why I told you this. I didn't want to lie to you or lead you on."
He laughed with no humor. "Truth is, I don't even know if she'll feel the same about me when she comes back. Or even if she'll feel the same months or years after she comes back. Truth is, I may have lost her permanently. But I won't know until she comes back. Yet at the same time, the wait is what eats away at me little by little each day. I know that if I didn't have anything to distract me from the pain and the not knowing, everything I have worked for will all disappear. Or maybe I am destined to suffer. Maybe I'm not meant to be with anyone."
He smiled up at her with a sad expression. "But I understand. If this is the last time we see each other, then I understand. I won't pain you by sticking around. It's completely up to you."
The waitress returned with tea and left with a bow. Tsukiro sipped it, keeping the warm cup close to his face, hoping that the steam would soothe him.

Naomi looked at him with sad eyes, "may I ask what happen for her to have left you?" She smiled warmly at him. "I don't think it was you that chased her away. You're too sweet of a guy."
"Sousuke Aizen took her from me. She had something he wanted." Tsukiro told her.
Naomi's eyes widened. "I am sure. What I have heard about him he is a very ruthless man and takes what he wants. When I hear his name I know what is about to be said is not good."
Tsukiro nodded.
"She must have been one of the really powerful soul reapers here." Naomi replied looking into her tea.
Tsukiro shook his head. "She was human."
"Human!?" Naomi exclaimed looking up at him. "Wow! Did Centrel know about her?"
He shook his head. Naomi looked back into her tea. "Someone that powerful and they did not know and little old me was found easily. That's odd." She looked back to him. "May I... What was her name?"

Tsukiro smiled, down into his tea cup, thinking of how they used to be, before Loki, before Aizen, before Gin. Before everything. "Kita. Her name is Kita Miyamoto."
Suddenly there was a slam and a rattle of dishes. Tsukiro looked up to see Naomi standing straight up in her seat, her hands against the table. Her eyes were filled with shock. Tsukiro found that he wasn't as surprised as he might have been. Of course she probably knew who Kita was. Who the seraph was. |

"The girl! The girl that Aizen came for when he came for his daughter?!" Naomi exclaimed.
Tsukiro stood trying to calm her as he placed his hand to her shoulder making her take her seat again. "Yes. The same girl." Tsukiro told her.
"I was told the one they call Ichimaru claimed her as his Pet. She calls him Master and won't leave his side." She looked to Tsukiro his eyes pained. Her head quickly lowered. "I am sorry I should not have said that."

Tsukiro shook his head. "No. You're at no fault." He smiled painfully at her. "Let's not talk about me. I don't make for very good meal conversation. How about you? Tell me about your parents. What is your mother like? Your father? Which squad is he in?"

Naomi giggled, "my family is not very exciting. I have no siblings my father is the Third seat of Squad Eight, Shota Kato. My mother, well of course she is human her name is Mikiko." She looked into Tsukiro's blue eyes. "They'er like most parents. Stricked." She giggled softly.
" For me... I have been part of Squad Thirteenth for the past two years. Captain Ukitake is amazing. You could not ask for a kinder man."

Tsukiro smiled and nodded. "They sound like amazing people. In fact, eventually I will be working with your father. Squad Eight is the captain's position I am working towards. Kairo will be my lieutenant. And I am sure that your father is an amazing man, given the fact that he is basically running the division himself. Tell him I look forward to working with him in the near future." He sipped his tea and added, "As for Captain Ukitake, yes, he is a very, very benevolent person, and an excellent captain. He is the type of captain I strive to be."
Then, the waitress arrived with two trays, each filled with a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, a fancy rice dish with meat, and a shabu shabu hot pot for the both of them to share. The waitress smiled at Tsukiro as she set the table. "Master Sejin wishes for me to inform you that your usual order now has a name of its own. He has named it 'The Panther's Trio.'"
Tsukiro chuckled. "Really now? Well, tell him I am honored." The waitress bowed and scurried off once more. Tsukiro turned back to Naomi and smiled. "Sorry. I know it's a lot of food. Actually, there's a story to it." |

Naomi looked to him with a raised brow as he started his story. She listened intently as he spoke and the two ate their lunch. They laughed and talked for what seemed like hours just taking up space at the table.
It was the most fun Naomi had in a long time and she hoped it was for Tsukiro as well. The two hit it off so well and she hoped they would be able to do it again very soon.

"Remnants II": (continued)
The second Kisuke exited the Senkaimon he took off like mad in a shunpo in the direction of the fourth division. His eyes narrowed as his rage grew exponentially.
“You sick bastard. Taking out the medical division first, I’ll make you pay for this, Vale Tervaden.”

Reaching Out: Phase Two (continued): Starrk and Ulquiorra appeared from their gate and attacked different locations simultaneously. Ulquiorra sonido'ed to the base of one of the new towers and shot a cero straight through it, toppling it. From a roof, he watched as it fell on another tower, creating a domino effect of chaos throughout the current line of defense.
"Trash...." he murmured.
