Aizen offered his arm to Yumiko once more. When she linked her arm with his Aizen led her off toward Szayel's lab.

“Persuasion and Seduction by Moonlight”:Continued from hereMeanwhile... Yumiko had withdrawn to the garden at first, but the brightness there didn't calm the heaving storm of emotions in her heart. It only made it worse, as memories clashed with her sight, fire and sunlit glory. Anger, guilt and hurt just kept building inside her. Grabbing an ice green rose and not caring of the long thorns that scored her hands, she fled that area. Her hair comb fell out there. Yumiko managed to become quite lost; however, wandering the halls in the stillness of night calmed the turmoil in her soul. Ironic after being locked in the darkness for so long. She stroked the petals of the rose she'd yanked out, noted the blood on her hands from stinging cuts and punctures, and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. Tears ran down her cheeks as she lingered by a large window silently.

Aizen went looking for Yumiko after his talk with Loki and giving his order of how Kita was to be treated. Once Loki was in understanding they both went on their way. After covering a few places he believed Yumiko would be, his only find was her hair comb. Aizen then sought her out through feel. Once he found her he walked up behind her as she looked out the large south window over Hueco Mundo.
He noticed her hand was bleeding as she still held tightly to an ice green rose. Aizen walked up startling her as he gently took the rose from her hand and continued to lift her hand to his lips. He softly kissed each wound. Kissing the last injury on her palm, Aizen looked into her eyes.
"You have been crying, Yumiko. Tell me who has upset you so they may be punished accordingly?"

A tingle ran up her arm. Blushing, Yumiko lowered her eyes but clasped his hand, wincing as realized how badly she had cut her hand earlier. "An Espada's fraccion's bad joke...." she admitted quietly, keeping her eyes down. "She said she'd been raped..." her hand shook. "and that I was .. supposed to help her..." She took a breath. "It brought up bad memories....and feelings..."

Aizen held her hand in his listening to her talk. "A fracction? Raped?" Aizen could not help but laugh through his rage keeping it hid well, but he knew exactly who she was talking about. He shook his head. "What luck then. I have already punished that fracction for her misbehaving." He brushed the back of his fingers against her cheek. "She will never be pulling a prank like that again. She has learned her lesson."
He looked into her eyes and smiled softly. "I do so hate to see you pained like this, Yumiko. Tell me, is there anything I can do for you to help ease the pain?"

Yumiko leaned into his touch, listening to his words, but couldn't quite smile. Even though her pain had quieted to a dull ache with her weeping, it was still there. "It usually goes away with time," she murmured at last. "It has before." It's not right for me to complain, she thought to herself.

Aizen swept her into his arms gently and held her close to him his hand resting to her center back and the other to the back of her head as he stroked her hair. "No one deserves to hurt. Especially someone as sweet and loving as you, my Queen." He kissed the top of her head. "I would move mountains to see your smile."

It hurt. Yumiko resisted for a moment but found she couldn't for long. Closing her eyes, she leaned against him, grasping his jacket, She breathed in, feeling the knots unclench inside her as he stroked her hair. She spoke again. "I still can't believe I am truly free, not when the memories left to me are the painful ones. I'm getting there, but I worry I won't get strong fast enough."

Aizen slid his hand under her chin and slowly and gently lifted her head to look into his eyes. "I can have Szayel do away with them for you. So you can be free of the pain and always smile." He gave her a warm and loving smile as he looked on at her as it quickly faded and he pulled her back to him wrapping both arms around her. He rested his cheek to the top of her head as he held her close. "It pains me to know you hurt so much, my dear. I just want it all to go away so you can finally be happy and smile."

Yumiko was silent, not resisting, not pulling away, as she considered Aizen's offer of escape. Finally, she sighed and pulled away slightly, looking up into his eyes. "Thank you, my lord, but I am not ready to run away." A glimmer of a smile lit up her eyes. "These memories are my burden to carry, and without them, I don't know if I would be as content here as I am. Darkness always exists with light."
Besides," she lowered her head, "I might lose the one memory that matters, that I don't want to lose," she whispered quietly.

Aizen lifted her chin gently once more and smiled at her as he looked into her eyes.
“It's not what you have on the outside that glitters in light, it's what you have on the inside that shines in the darkness.”
He softly pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth. Pulling slightly away he added at a whisper for only her ears to hear.
“Light is creation. Darkness is the space necessary to create.”

Yumiko's eyes brightened. With a light blush on her cheeks, she played with the fabric of his jacket for a few moments, heart pounding against her chest.
"Thank you, Aizen, she dared to lift up and give him a feather soft kiss in return for his, "for bringing the light into my darkness."

Aizen brushed her cheek with his fingertips and smiled at her kindly. "Lets get you back to your room, my queen."
He released her slowly and offered his arm as she linked hers with his he lead her back to a more familiar area.
"If you would like, I could stay with you until you have fallen asleep."

With each step they took, Yumiko could feel the weight on her heart fade. Smiling softly, Yumiko nodded, "I'd like that." They continued towards her tower. To be continued here
