"Choice of a God":Vale sat beneath a window in his living room, sipping on a cup of warm tea as he thought about the last year and a half. He had been found outside of Urahara's shop with no memory. Only to be let out three months later, after all of the Shop Keepers tests had come back negative for whatever it was he was looking for. Sojiro had been born to Kita and the sleeping Gin. Kenji received a sword and spent most of his time training and speaking to it. Evita was born to Orihime. And, he had moved out and found himself and job and apartment. The doorbell rang, forcing Vale from his place of comfort on the floor. He rose from his seat and carefully tip-toed around various piles of books and old cups of tea, making his way towards the door. Looking through the peephole, he saw he was Kita and the ever growing Sojiro. He pulled his hair back into a ponytail, and straightened his shirt before opening the door. "Miss Kita. Little Sojiro. What brings the two of you to by?" he asked, inviting the two of them in.

Kita smiled warmly lifting little Sojiro's hand making him wave at Vale. "Say hi to Vale, Sweety." Kita giggled and looked to Vale again as she walked into the house.
"Hello, and nothing much. We had to stop by the store to pick something up for the house. I thought we would stop by and see how you were doing. It has been awhile since we have seen you around." Kita looked at the books and empty and half drank cups of tea scattered around the room on the floor, she looked back Vale. "You need a maid, sir. You are a true bachelor."
She extended her arms out with Sojiro in her hands as Vale took him. Kita then started picking up the cups of tea around the room. Vale following her around telling her not to bother he will get them later. Kita shook her head.
"That wont save your books if Sojiro gets his hands on one and dumps tea on them. Now will it?" Kita continued around the room as Vale stopped following her.
Vale sighed and looked at Sojiro, smiling warmly at him as he bounced him in his arms. "You wouldn't do that would you?"
Sojiro giggled as Vale played with him, Kita finishing up the mess of tea cups.

"Your mom is such a worry wart, hm." he said playfully. Resting Sojiro on his shoulders, Vale turned and looked at Kita. "So, how are things at the shop? This little guy isn't giving Kenji and Urahara a tough time, is he? He looks like a handful." He laughed as Sojiro pulled at his hair and bounced on his shoulders.
"I will take that as a yes." Vale pulled Sojiro from his shoulders and sat him on the floor. "And, Miss Ryouma?"

Kita looked back over her shoulder at Vale from the kitchen as she filled the sink with hot water and soap. "They are going good. Kisuke is very pleased with incoming customers. Yumiko went back to soul society a few days ago. She should be coming back soon, but she is well. Sojiro keeps everyone on their toes. Chasing Kenji all over the place," she giggled softly. "Poor Gin. If he were not in a coma would get NO PEACE at all. You would not believe how many times a day one of us is fetching Sojiro out of his fathers room."
She started placing the cups into the sink and washing them. "How is the flower business? Busy as a bee?" Kita grinned slyly looking over her shoulder at him.

Vale shrugged as he leaned over to clear a seat of a pile of books. "Clever girl. But, yes." He answered as she sat down. "Mr. Hadashi wants to sell me the shop. Something about getting old and me already living above it." Vale picked up a book and began to thumb through it.
Kita smiled at Vale as she looked over her shoulder. He looked up from his book he closed it with a heavy sigh. "It's been almost two years, and I still can't remember anything. Not that I want to. But..." He looked to Kita, a weak smile on his lips. "Could your seraph retrieve my memories?"

She tried not to act shocked at his question, her mind drifting back to a place that still haunted her dreams. To memories she wish she had lost. To memories that no one person should have to bear. Memories of her lover, her friends, the pain and mental torment, Aizen, the Espada. She turned and looked at Vale, and of him. She picked up a small towel and dried her hands walking into the living room and sat down across from him. She did not know what to say--well; that was a lie, but what she wanted to say she held back. She knew if she started she would not stop, and her rant was not for Vale to hear. He did not remember what happen there and it had been rubbed in his face a number of times. Why force him to hear it again. Why put thoughts into his head that could cause nightmares. He had moved on trying to make a better life for himself, made friends and was happy. Happy, all but for the loss of his memories.
Kita sighed softly and shook her head resting her hand to the top of his on the book, "no. I am sorry Vale. The one that took your memories would be the only one that could give them back to you." She smiled warmly, "but know if she could. I would ask her to return all the good memories you had of who you were before I knew you from Las Noches. I was told you were a kind gentle man like you are now."

Vale smiled and picked up Sojiro, sitting him on the table. "Why would this god do this to me? Was I such a terrible person?" He hung his head slightly, keeping a hand on the fidgeting Sojiro. "Well...Don't answer that. But, really, why did they do this to me?"
Kita gently rested her hand on his, causing him to lift his head. "You speak to the seraph. May be I could speak to the god who did this me."

Kita shook her head slight doubt in her eyes. "I don't know. The God that did this to you is not like Sumi. Sumi is part of me, Alister is not part of you. He is able to come and go when he pleases."
Vale looked at her as she spoke, she patted his hand gently pulling her hand back. "Are you not happy Vale?"
Vale nodded, "of course I am, Kita but..."
"I mean why..." she lowered her head thinking back to the time she had no memories. It did bother her that she could not remember everyone when Gin had brought her back to the shop that one time, but he made it easy for her by keeping her mind on him and what was going on in their life at the time, and it upset her even more when her memories were returned, and everything of her past memories collided with her present ones. The confusion she suffered and the weight on her heart and mind was unbearable. But again. She had Gin to help her through.
She looked up at Vale with a wide smile as an idea came to her. "You need someone to help you through this. A girlfriend..." she tilted her head with a questioning look in her eyes. "Maybe?"

Vale laughed loudly. "Oh yeah? And, who would date me? Yuzu?" He rose from his seat, as Kita's hand moved from his hand to Sojiro. "I don't think Kurosaki or his father would appreciate that much. Miss Ryouma isn't at all interested in me. In fact, I'm fairly certain she finds me repulsive." He walked over to stove and turned on the burner beneath the tea kettle. "There is always you."
Kita gave a slight chuckle as she turned around in her seat. As she opened her mouth to speak, Vale pulled her into a kiss. Vale laughed as he pulled from their kiss, leaving Kita silent in her chair. "Hm...I don't think the sleeping Gin will like that too much." He backed up and leaned against the sink, folding his arms over his chest. "Besides, if you get this quiet from one little kiss, I think I would be left talking to myself."

Kita's eyes widened then narrowed quickly at him, "you as--" she stopped abruptly before she said the curse word in front of her son. "Butthead!! What did you expect me to do? Kiss you back? You know my heart belongs to Gin. Why would you even do that?!"
She turned in her chair taking her glare from Vale, her arms crossing over her chest in a huff. "Butthead..." she mumbled under her breath. "I can't believe you..."

"I apologize, Miss Kita." He walked over and kissed Kia on top her head. "I know your heart belongs to sleeping Gin. And, I would never try to pull you from him." Vale returned to his seat across from Kita and sat down. "You said his name was Alister, the god who took my memories. How can I speak with him?"

Kita huffed still slightly angered at his actions. "I don't know if you can, Vale. I would say," she turned looking at him, shrugging. "Call out for him? Though, I don't know if it will work. Gods are..." she paused, "particular, and that's saying it nicely."
Both her and Vale laughed softly Sojiro letting out a loud screech as he joined them in the laughter making them laugh harder. When Kita looked back to Vale she sighed hanging her head. "Vale," a sadness washed over her as she wrung her hand in her lap. "If you... if you get your memories back." She bit her bottom lips and looked back at him. "You know what you will become. So why? If you're happy now; why would you want to do that to yourself? You had so many enemies then. All of them wanted you dead."
She looked quickly away from him speaking softly, "including me."

"I don't want to become that man again. Believe me." Vale answered. "I just don't want this thing looming over me. I understand that I was a terrible person. And, death was something I deserved. But, at least I would know who I was. I'm happy now, Miss Kita. But, I have no idea who I am." Vale tapped on the table, as he sat deep in thought. "I have no idea. And, no one cares really. I'm just supposed to be happy."

"But... what if... what if he won't return only the memories of when you were like you are now. What if he says you have to take them all or... none?" She lowered her head as tears pooled in her eyes her head shaking gently.
"It's not fair. I don't know what happen to you to cause you to turn like you did, Vale but..." she looked quickly back up at Vale. "I like you better this way!" She let blurt out before she could stop herself. Quickly she got up and walked over to the window to get some fresh air.
"I just don't want to see you hurting and I know you were. Even though you would not admit it. I could see it in your eyes."

"Miss Kita..." Vale walked over and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I understand what you're saying. But, understand where I am coming from. I've got some age on me. And, I know nothing outside of what you all have told me. I want to know who I am. This isn't enough." He let his hand fall from her shoulder as he turned and walked towards the couch.
"I just want to fill in the blanks. And, who who knows what will happen if I get my memories back? It may not be a bad thing." Vale plopped down on the couch knocking over a pile of books. "It may help everyone."
