"Ne-..." Vale's eyes widened as he stepped toward Alister. "What are talking about? What did you do to me?" he shouted.
"I've told you." stated Alister. "I corrected the path you were on as a Captain. You were never meant to be a Captain, Tervaden. This!" Alister extended his hands outwards as the dark around them disappeared to reveal Las Noches. "This is where fate as always meant for you to be. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me!"
Vale remained silent as he stepped away from Alister, his anger boiling inside him. With a clenched jaw and whitening knuckles, Vale forced himself to wake.

The god watched as Tervaden woke from his dream, sitting up on the couch. "The man you are now, human and powerless...It is but a brief reminder of the man you once were, Tervaden." As the man turned to face him, Alister gave a slight chuckle. "If not for me, you would be a Captain of the Gotei 13, living a life of mediocrity.
"Mediocrity is self inflicted, Alister. I was a Captain...That is not something that would bring anyone shame. It is an honor."
"Honor?" The god held out his hand, as Chinmoku appeared before him. "To follow a Captain with such a desire for death and destruction; that is not an honor Tervaden. This zanpakuto is not one of peace!"
"Its name means silence!"
"Yes! And, the silence brought about through death is unmistakable! The whole world grows silent as fate announces the death toll!"

Vale sprang from the couch and snatched Chinmoku from Alister's grasp. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply as powers old and new coursed through his body. Tears welled in his eyes as Chinmoku's joyous ramblings of his return filled his ears.
"Tell me, Alister. Whatever you did to me...The Soul King knows of it?"
"There is no hiding from the Soul King."
"Hm..." Vale turned and smiled at the god of fire. "So, if I were to say...Ask that I get to briefly beat your ass...briefly...On equal terms...He would do what?"

The god laughed. "The Soul King would do no such thing. He would never honor such a request. Especially not from you."
Tervaden's smile grew wider as he pointed to the god with his sheathed blade. "I wouldn't be so sure."
The god's laughter quickly ceased as his flame began to dim and waver. Slowly, he looked to Tervaden who now had his blade drawn.
"These..." began Tervaden. "Would be equal terms."
To Be Continued...

"Taming of the Rose":Vale stood in the shower, steaming hot water running down his body. Blood, dirt and sand circled the drain. He let the water run over fresh wounds and scratches on his back and arms. Over the last few months, Vale found himself in Hueco Mundo, taking his angers and frustrations out on the hordes of hollows roaming freely. He had let thoughts of his past lives cloud his mind, as he watched the debris and water circle down the drain. A knock on the door shook Vale from his daze. He turned off the water and grabbed a towel hanging over the shower door. He wrapped the towel around his waist and headed towards the door. He stepped quickly towards the door, occasionally slipping on his wet footprints. Without checking to see who it was, Vale opened the door while holding the towel around his waist with one hand. "Yumiko?"

Blushing deeply, Yumiko looked away and stepped back. “Sorry, you were busy. I’ll come bac-“ She glanced back at him and then blinked. “You idiot! Wha- what have you been doing?!” She pushed him back into the apartment and down onto a chair, turning around quickly to shut the door. “What are you doing visiting Las Noches?” she hissed. “Someone could catch you. And - and you’re covered in cuts…” She glared at him, blue violet eyes sharp. “You don’t get those from fighting with a rosebush!”

"Why do you care, Yumiko?" Vale pushed himself from the chair, holding tightly to the towel around his waist. "My time in Las Noches is none of your concern." Turning to face her, Vale narrowed his eyes at her. "Why are you here, Yumiko Ryouma?"
Yumiko glared at him and slapped him hard across the face. “Your time in Las Noches is jeopardizing your second chance here, you ass!” she yelled. “Why else would you want it a secret?!”
Vale grabbed Yumiko's hand and pulled her close. "You don't care about my second chance, Yumiko. But, I thank you for keeping my secret, dear Rose."

Yumiko eyes narrowed further. “Whatever gave you the impression that I don’t care about your second chance, Vale?” She looked down at their hands.. how he had pulled her close. A flash of the beginning of that night swept through her mind and her cheeks warmed. “Will you let go?” she muttered.

Vale looked down at his hold on her, hesitating before he let go. "You're always running from me. You wouldn't, if you cared." He pulled the towel from around his waist and walked back towards his bedroom. "What are you doing here, Yumiko?" he shouted, hoping she could hear.

Yumiko spun quickly around. “You - I ran because I didn’t want to hurt you any more than I have already, idiot!” She wrapped her arms around herself. “But I didn’t like it… it was like letting him win…. I needed…”
Vale walked back into the room with a shirt tossed over his shoulder. "Running from me was letting him win? Do you fucking listen to yourself? You won't be happy with anyone else, because of some shit Aizen did to you." He pulled himself onto the top of a nearby table. "I'm starting to think you want to be miserable and bitter."
Yumiko's head snapped up. "I am not miserable and bitter!" she hissed. "I was being cautious! Does that mean anything to you!?" She took a step towards him, eyes burning with annoyance. "I was in love with him! and I was just a toy to him. So I ran to you! And you did something to me I don't even understand. I care about you. I gave you a second chance! And you...." she turned away, "you want me to just surrender again..."

"Yes Yumiko!" shouted Vale. "I want you! And, I want you without a fight!" He pulled his shirt from his shoulder, and tossed it to the floor. He slid off the table, walked over to her and laid a hand to her shoulder. "Three fucking years, Yumiko. Three. A wise man would stop trying, Yumiko." Vale let his hand fall from her shoulder. "Why are you here?"

Yumiko looked down to where the hand had fallen. “I was worried,” she admitted quietly. “You haven’t been by and haven’t let Kita or Sojiro visit….” She turned and looked around the messy room - to the scattered books. “I wanted to apologize…. if I could.”

"Hm..." Vale grunted and gently grabbed Yumiko's hand, tugging on it until she turned to face him. "Yumiko..." Vale pulled her towards him, wrapping his other arm around her. "If you hit me, I will hit you back..."He chuckled slightly as he pulled her into a kiss, pulling away briefly only to take a breath. Vale rested his forehead against hers, before taking a step away. "I'm a big boy, Yumiko. You don't need to worry about me."

Yumiko, still stunned by the kiss, narrowed her eyes at him. “Worry is not something only for children, Vale. It’s for brave fools and confusing people you care about, too.” She set a hand on his bare shoulder, hesitated, and then kissed him gently. And started to pull away. Her lips were tingling and her heart was galloping in her chest.

Vale gently grabbed her arm, and pulled Yumiko into another kiss. "Give me permission, Yumiko. Then, let me keep you. Stop running. Stop fighting me. Just...stop. You know that I'm not going to hurt you."
"But-" she gasped between his second powerful kiss, "Vale, I still don't know what this is," she called out, trying to stay calm. "Shouldn't- can't we take this slower?"
"This is Yumiko and Vale in Vale's apartment." He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. "And, any slower, we'll die of old age."
She moaned as he nipped at her throat and closed her eyes, nearly surrendering, and then pulled back. "We - we have to talk to Orihime first. Just because she has Evita doesn't mean she has forgotten you."
"What is there to tell her?" he whispered. "She knows how I feel for you. And, encouraged me pursuing you before I got my memories back."
