Kita nodded slowly as she looked into the Commanders eyes. "I understand this Commander, and I empathize with it. However, I would like to be able to know for a fact that he is permanently held here and not have to worry as time moves forward about looking over my shoulder and wondering which one of my loved ones or friends will be his first target. I would rather enjoy the time stress free of that concern. Wouldn't that be better than sitting and worrying daily about his escape or wondering when it will take place?"
Her head nodded slowly. "I know I would."

Shunsui rubbed at his chin. “I do believe we can hold him, Kita,” he replied. “Even if he has power enough to override the bindings over movement, and to some extent, his powers, he needed his daughter’s help to escape the first time. There are only so many keys he can break from within the prison through sheer might. Or because he was exposed to them when I released him the first time. There are even more outside of the prison. In my control.”

"Kyoraku," Kita addressed him common as she lowered her eyes from him. "All business set aside here, and as one friend to another. As one protector to another..." She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. "You know as well as I that if Aizen ever breaks free there will be hell on earth as well as the realms... So please, please promise me. If it ever comes to the point you feel you can do NO MORE to hold him, you will contact me to lock him down so he cannot escape. Ever."
Kyoraku sighed adjusting his hat his head shaking slightly, "Kita--"
"No," Kita cut him off shaking her head. "I have just as much at stake as you do. If he gets free and is able to finally, by some odd freak chance, to control me, you know what will happen. WE--cannot let that happen. You have to do this Kyoraku. If I have to become his gatekeeper, then so be it. I won't let him harm the realms or the people we love and care for." Her head shook again as she lowered her eyes once more. "I won't..."

The commander sighed softly. “Such a choice would condemn you just as much as stop him, Kita,” he murmured. Kita’s gaze didn’t waver and he lowered his hat. “It is times like this when I feel my age. So unpleasant.” He looked up again, paused, and then nodded. “I will inform you, but I do not believe it is at this time. Please trust me on this.”

Kita rested her hand to his shoulder tip-toeing up she kissed his cheek softly. "Thank you and you might be feeling it, but you surely don't look it." Her hand slid from his shoulder as she smiled warmly at him. She then turned from him taking a few steps away.
Looking back over her shoulder she snapped her fingers as the Godly gate opened, "Oh and Kyoraku?" He looked at her from under his hat. "I do trust you. If I didn't. I would have reinforced Kisuke's cells and had him keep Aizen there."

Shunsui chuckled and lifted his hat. “Then you have my gratitude on both accounts, dear.” He turned to face Aizen and his eyes narrowed. “Get on back to your family, Miss Kita. Until you hear from me or another, I will take it from here.”
As Kita disappeared through her godly portal, Shunsui let the binding around Aizen’s month recede again. “You really have a way of drawing people in, Sousuke. As it is, with her and a couple others I could mention, it is a good thing that your ties to such people aren’t permanent. Kind of like your journey to become a god.”

With a smirk Aizen looked toward Kyoraku. "My hold is greater than you would like to believe. Commander. As for being a God," Aizen paused as his smirk grew wider. "I already am." He started laughing softly as he looked in the direction Kita had exited.
"In time she will see the light." He chuckled lightly letting his look drift to Kyoraku once more, "or maybe I should say the darkness. It calls to her even now."

Shunsui’s eyes narrowed further. “You may think you can taint all you want, Sousuke, but you’re wrong. You might have left a mark on Ichimaru, but Kisuke and Kita were able to keep him from staying at your level. Your second victim, Hinamori-chan, continues to come back from the darkness no matter how many times it reaches out to destroy her. Vale saved Yumiko.” He paused. “Kita has Kisuke, Ichimaru, her son, and many others. Finally, even if there is darkness in that girl, that doesn’t mean her darkness will serve or align with yours.” He turned around. “There is more than one path when darkness is in your heart. Not everyone will discard the world for their own selfish desires."

Aizen laughed loudly at him and his assumptions, "but I am there. In the dark recesses of their minds. I will always be there. Leaking, hiding, waiting. However--" Aizen smirked with a sly look in his eyes.
"But I will always be there. Just as I will always be there in your mind, Kyoraku. Always."

Shunsui chuckled and raised his hand. “After today, there will be only ONE more time you’re on my mind for a long time, Sousuke. You’re not cute enough to be there any longer. Not until the fateful two years are up. Then I suppose you will leak in. But I can purge you from there after a night of good company. Just as the Gotei and the Soul King will banish your threat from the Realms.”

Aizen smirked with a slight chuckle. "I am sure you will, and I will wait." He looked from Kyoraku. "As long as you know--I will be back."

Shunsui turned his head back to the prisoner. “And each time we will drag you back to the hell you deserve, Sousuke. Each time you rise, the Gotei will rise with you. And you will fail.” He snapped his fingers, sealing the man completely and then snapping it again. The room turned pitch black but for a dim light at the end. “Enjoy oblivion again, Sousuke Aizen.” The doors moved shut with a great booming like the final crescendo of a drum.

"Prelude III (Continued)"As they came out of the gate, Vale grabbed Kurosaki and slammed him into the chair into the center of the room. "Now!" The god appeared, placing a hand on Kurosaki's chest. "Quite the predicament you've gotten into, Ichigo Kurosaki." The god winked, stepping back as black bands covered him, in the same manner Aizen had been bound. He turned to Tervaden. "It's done." he stated. "Why Kurosaki?""He's a placeholder." answered Vale. "Gin would have been better. Most people would even beg for him to stay bound. And, we'll get there. But, for now, in lieu of Aizen, he will do." Vale lowered his head as Kurosaki was restrained and bound to the chair. "Leave his mouth uncovered for now. He and I need to have a quick word." The god nodded, stepping back as Tervaden stepped toward Kurosaki. "You've turned to your old self fairly quickly. Did you miss being true to yourself, that much?""Shut up." responded Vale. He looked to Kurosaki. "We are going to talk, Ichigo. And, after I say my piece, Alister will take your memory of this day. So, do play nice."

Ichigo snarled, fighting against the bonds around his body, but deep inside, he knew he was in deep shit. This chair had held Aizen, and Ichigo still had to work to get to that level.
Want me to shred it for you? came the glib voice of his hollow side.
Shut up, Hichigo. I’ll deal with it.
If you say so, the voice murmured.
Ichigo took a breath to calm himself and then focused on the traitor who had bound him here. “What’s your deal, Vale? You fake your death to spare Yumiko - or so they say - and then you do this. What’s your game? And you’re nuts if you think I am going to join you. People have already played that card. It won't work."

Vale laughed, placing a finger to Ichigo's forehead. "Really? You're dumber than you look, if that's what you think this is about. No, buttercup." He pushed the bound Soul Reaper's head back against the chair. "You think I'm weak. Most people do. I'm full of chaos and confusion with a rose as a savior. I welcome the assumption." Looking to Alister, Vale frowned heavily. "I am, however, much smarter than that. And, part of my plan hinges you on being out of the picture. So, here's what we're going to do. Not only am I going to leave you here after Alister wipes your memory. But, you're going to wake up thinking you're someone else entirely. Say, a certain pretentious bastard with a superman curl. Every part of you will read as this man." Ichigo cursed as Alister rested a hand to his chest one more. Vale watched on as Alister worked, only speaking again when his work had been done. He looked into the man's eyes just before the bindings completely covered his face. "I'm sorry, Ichigo." He whispered. Vale took a step back, into the gate that had opened moments before, and took his leave.
