Kita took the sword again and smiled getting back on the floor. "I would love to." She got to her knees and took hold of the sword with both hands. "You know," she looked to Kenji, "maybe you can teach me how to sword fight." She waddled out to the center of the floor on her knees.
Kenji beamed brightly nodding quickly. "I can do that, Nee-chan."
The two then started Kita's training with Kenji as her new master.

Yoruichi smiled as she watched the two of them duke it out. Kenji was talented even for five years old. He blocked pretty much all of Kita's shots and even countered them. He would block with his sword and kick out a her hip with his leg. He dodged Kita's swings and parried others.
Kita was very good as well. She took Kenji's swings well and recovered quickly from his counters. She knew how to spot openings and take advantage of them. When she caught Kenji's swings, she pushed his sword out of the way to create an opening. The two of them were evenly matched. Under any other circumstances, it would have been an insult to say that Kita was evenly matched with a five year old. But then, Kenji was no ordinary five year old.
They continued to swing back and forth, blocking, dodging and hitting. Kenji would spin around behind her and Kita would block the best she could from her position on her knees.
Kenji raised his sword above his head and with a shout brought it down. Yoruichi was about to yell at him again when Kita raised her sword and blocked the slash from Kenji.

Kita giggled as the two battled it out. She matched him hit for hit block for block. Of course holding back. She did not want to over power him with the Goddess' powers and strength's she used. He was only five, and her little brother. Though she had to admit for five he was a good fighter and very strong as well. Then something inside Kita snapped. It was like someone flipped a switch. Suddenly she spun on her knee Kita pushing herself up to her feet. When she came back around fully standing, there was a stern and serious look on her face and in her eyes.
Her sword came down hard over Kenji causing the sword to bow as they collided when he blocked her. She then came left then right, Kenji blocking them all, but her force and speed picked up again forcing Kenji back and putting him more on the defense then equal ground like before. Kita then struck again, knocking Kenji's sword from his hands. Her sword lifting quickly above him.

Before either of them could blink, Yoruichi was between Kita and Kenji, holding the sword in place. She snapped it in half and tossed the two pieces. When Kita went to kick out at her, she tripped her as gently as she could without hurting her. When Kita was on her back, she grabbed both her hands in one of hers and shook her with the other hand.
"Kita! Kita snap of it! Wake up!" She lightly patted her cheek. "Kita!"
"Mama!" Kenji said as he looked at them, a frightened look in his face.
Yoruichi looked to her son. "It's alright, Kenji. Just stay there." She turned back to Kita. "Kita, can you hear me?!"

Continued from “Kita!” Yumiko cried out from the doorway, shimmering blade at her side. “ Sazanami ni nageru, Mizue no Kagami,” she whispered swinging her blade before her in the full release command. The ripple of Kyoka Suigestu bent the images around her head, and Yumiko willed the ripple around Kita. “You. Are not. Aizen’s,” she hissed, as the ripple changed to the hallucination Aizen had enforced inside her friend's mind. Yumiko's eyes flashed. Her reiatsu climbed and she bent the walls around her. "It. is. a lie." Then, all at once, her legs turned into jelly and Yumiko leaned against the door, breathing hard.

Kita grabbed her head rolling to her side a small whimper escaping her. "It hurts." She claimed, "it hurts."
She rolled back to her back still holding her head as reality snapped back into place. She quickly sat up and looked around the room seeing Kenji hiding behind a chair peeking around at her. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed softly as she pulled her legs under her and reached out to Kenji. "I am so sorry, Kenji." Tears started rolling down her cheeks. "A very bad man tried to have me hurt you. Never again."
Kita looked to Yumiko as Yoruichi helped her to the couch to sit down. "Thanks to Yumiko." She smiled brightly at her mouthing 'thank you' to Yumiko then looked back to Kenji. "Never again, Kenji. I promise, never again." Kita shook her head as tears now trailed down her cheeks.

Kenji slowly moved from behind the chair. When Kita started crying he immediately rushed to her and leaped into her lap, hugging her tightly. "Nee-chan, it's okay." He kept his arms around her and his head on her shoulder. "Please don't cry, Nee-chan."
Yoruichi sighed and rubbed both of their backs. She shook her head. "He's here. He's close. There's no way he would be able to do it from Las Noches. Kisuke made damn sure of that." She looked to all of them. "We have to be sure to keep our reiatsu fully concealed. Kenji, remember what Mama taught you. Keep all of your energy locked tightly inside you."
Kenji nodded but didn't let go of Kita.

Kita hugged Kenji tightly not wanting to let him go. She could not believe Aizen would stoop to that level in making her try to hurt such a young child. A great fear whelmed up inside of her making her think of Sojiro and what he would do if he found out it was Gin baby. She started to cry harder as she held Kenji close to her.
"I am so sorry, Kenji. I promise you this bad man will be gone very soon and he will never try to hurt anyone again."

Watching quietly from her place on the couch, Yumiko called out to the Shihoin noble. “Yoruichi," she murmured, “please go to Kita. She needs you.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll be alright.”
Yoruichi frowned in doubt then slapped her leg. “Stay there and don’t move.” Yumiko smiled in return and the ninja went over to Kita, whispering something that Yumiko couldn’t hear.
She closed her eyes, hand still on the hilt of her blade. Thank you, Mizue no Kagami, for fixing that mistake. Her zanpakuto chimed in acknowledgement. Yumiko's hand tightened around her blade. I will get stronger and I will protect Kita and myself. That is something I can do.

Yoruichi sat with Kita as she clung to Kenji and Kenji didn't move from his place attached to her. She hugged and held them both, stroking their hair. "It's alright, Kita. It's not your fault. I know you would never intentionally hurt Kenji. This is just another one of Aizen's sick games. I'm not upset with you. And look," she gave a small smile. "Kenji's glued to you like someone slathered the two of you with superglue. It's okay. Don't beat yourself up."
Kenji pulled back just enough to look at Kita, worry and sadness laced in his eyes. "Is Nee-chan going to be okay?"

Kita smoothed his hair back nodding her head slowly. She kissed his forehead and hugged him again. "I will be fine. It's you I worry about. I don't want any harm to come to you." She looked to Yoruichi then to Yumiko. "Until we know for a fact his hold is broke on me. Please don't leave me alone." She looked to Kenji and smiled kissing his cheek. The room then filled with light laughter as Kita's stomach growled. She giggled herself smoothing Kenji hair back again.
"Are you hungry? Because it seems Sojiro is starving."

Yoruichi smiled and kissed Kenji's hair and hugged Kita once more. She stood up. "I will make us something to eat. If anyone needs me, holler."
As Yoruichi disappeared into the kitchen, Kenji looked up to Kita. "Can we play something else? I don't like sword fighting anymore."

Kita nodded with a bright smile. "Whatever you want to play is fine with me, Kenji."
He climbed off her lap taking her hand in his. Kita stood and followed him as he lead her outside. She looked to Yumiko before they stepped out the door.
"Do you want to come out with us? A breath of fresh might help relax you."
Kenji hesitated before continuing on waiting for Yumiko's answer.

Yumiko smiled and stood up, sheathing her sealed zanpakuto. “Let’s go then,” she said, walking over and ruffling the kid’s hair. She looked to her friend. “It’s still a beautiful day out there.” Kita giggled again. “What?” Yumiko asked. “You know, you may not have a lot of memories, but there are definitely some things you got from Captain Ukitake.” Yumiko chuckled. “That’s a good thing.” Kita’s stomach growled again. The girls laughed and Kenji grabbed both hands. “We will make memories here. Stop boring talk.” Still laughing, the girls were dragged into the garden. Kita and Kenji started to play hide and seek while Yumiko sat in the shade, folding a few flowers into crowns. The threat of Aizen faded into the shadows. Where it belonged.

"Reaching Out Phase Three":It was evening of the next day, Kita still being under the power of reflected Kyoka Suigetsu, but for how much longer. she was starting to feel the pull of Las Noches on her again. she was not sure if it was because she wanted to be at Gin's side or if it was the power of Aizen's zanpakuto. Either way, Kita did not trust herself to be alone with any of them. So after dinner she hid away in her room. As the night drifted on Kita found the pull growing stronger. It was yet another sleepless night."You know what you have to do." Sumi spoke to her. Kita shook her head crossing her arms over her chest as she paced the room. "I can't take her back to that hell.""If you do not take her back with you, he will only send you back for her, or come get her himself. Which one would you prefer?" Sumi asked her. Kita sighed and looked around the room. Finally, her eyes falling on what she sought out. She walked over and picked up a tablet of paper and pen. She sat to the bed and started writing out three notes. One to Kenji, one to Yoruichi and one to Yumiko. When she was done, she stood and walked over to the dresser where she placed the masks for safe keeping. Taking both she placed them to the pillow on her bed and tucked two of the notes under the masks. She knew Kenji would find them, he has come to wake her every morning. He would do the same tomorrow when his bright little eyes popped opened again in the morning.
Once she was finished there she walked from her room to Yumiko's, stopping just outside the door as she reached for the handle. Kita's eyes closed her head lowered. "Please keep her asleep with sweet dreams until morning, Sumi.""I will," Sumi replied.Kita nodded as she opened the door and stepped in the room. Yumiko sleeping soundly. Walking over to her, Kita tucked the third note into the belt of Yumiko's kimono she was sleeping in. Picker her up bridal style and grabbing her zanpakuto, Kita stepped across the room. A gate opened as Kita looked around the room once more. "Kita you have to go. You don't have much time and you will be under Aizen's control once more." Sumi urged her. Kita nodded and entered the gate, quickly it closed behind them as they left their family and friends once more. Moved
