Tuskiro’s face darkened. “Ich-” he grunted. “The player you’re relying on is not needed, goddess,” he growled. “He’s not the best for who you should be watching out for, for both of them, and if you need another player,” he paused, “let me do it. With some shoving around, I can get Aizen’s eye back on me.”

Sumi looked to the Captain, "It is not his eye you want on you. It is his trust. Aizen will never trust you. He will never trust any of the ones here in the Maze. His trust on Kita is stretched as it is. He knows she is up to something, but he knows she knows that if she does something foolish all of you including Sojiro will die."
Her head shook as she looked to the ground. "No, the man we need is the one we lost, or..." She looked up at them. "Vale Tervaden."

Ichigo sat up further. “NO WAY! NO WAY IN HELL!” He took a breath and leaned back against the wall. “You’re going to tell me that you, a goddess who can see even what we can’t….” his mind went back to Yuzu, and to Evita, the silence that had stretched on with the loss of Kita’s family. “No, you can’t say you’re willing to trust him at such a vital point. He’s done too much. To Kita! To Sojiro! The Snake has to be better than that!”
Ichigo shook his head. “Is he dead? Who you say we need?”
Sumi shook her head. “No, he is still very much alive.”
“Well is there something you, Kita, or Kisuke can do to bring him back around or bring him here if he’s escaped?”

Nori looked to the confused and angered man as he tried to get some sort of grasp on what was going on. He was very much against the thought of the Goddess' and bring in Tervaden and she could agree with Substitute wholeheartedly. She stepped toward him as he sat to the cot next to Kita.
"I have to agree with Ichigo on bringing in Tervaden. What would make you suggest him has us baffled, but I am sure you have your reasons."
Ichigo started to rebut once more asking about the guy they had lost as Nori looked to him. "Just let it go, Ichigo. We can't get him back. You heard what--" Nori was cut off as Sumi spoke up.
"It was Gin Ichimaru."
Nori's look jerked to Sumi as Byakuya sat up in his chair with a heavy sigh. Ichigo looked away and Tsukiro ground his teeth, eyes dark as he watched Kita turn white as the Arrancar uniform she was wearing.

Tuskiro stood up and walked over to Kita, wrapping his arms around her. She was shaking. “Breathe, darling. Breath.” He looked to the goddess. “Did you have - HAVE to say that after all that has happened? With the way someone’s screwed with her? With what he is?” He stood. “There is NO way we need him. We didn’t before. We don’t now either. He had his chance. IF he EVER deserved it!”

Sumi looked to Tsukiro with narrowed eyes as Kita looked to her a lost and confused look written all over her face and in her eyes. Sumi sighed, "Sit down, Kita. I am going to explain my reason for suggesting Tervaden and then I will explain what has you so confused."
Tsukiro led her over to a chair and sat her down as he stood behind her with a supporting hand to her shoulder. Sumi looked at at the others and started her explanation.
"Today after Aizen had the Hogyoku absorb the reiatsu of the Captain Commander and then..." The room became alive with with gasps and exchanges of looks as Sumi held up her hand to stop them before they started with their questions. "Doing the same thing with Kurosaki. Aizen took Kita back to an old room she use to live in when Ichimaru was her Master. There he proceeded to rape her." Heads shook with growls and angry comments under their breath.
"Tervaden recused her before it got to far--"

“Hold it! Hold it!” Tsukiro called out, as Kita rocked against him. “Kita, darling, calm down.”
“She’s got it wrong,” she muttered, shaking her head. “He didn’t - I got away but-”
Tsukiro turned to the goddess. “You can’t just say the Captain Commander is alive or something she isn’t going to remember that casually. You have to be more careful with what you are saying. You’ll tear her apart even more.”

Sumi turned her gaze away from the young Captain, "I am not here to candy coat my information, Ashimitsu. You know me far too well to know I do not do such things." She looked to Kita.
"Tervaden had Alister erase the memory of his rescue and the conversation he had with you once he had you there. If you think I am lying check the left hip pocket of your uniform."
Kita did as she said feeling a small object there she slowly lifted the object out opening her hand for all to see. "What...what is--"
Sumi interrupted her. "It is the stone that controls me. Just like the stone Tervaden has that controls Alister."
She looked quickly up at her as Tsukiro blurted out, "You could have put that there!"
Sumi narrowed her eyes at the young Captain. "Why would I do such a thing? I have never defied my vessel."
"BULLSHIT!!" Tsukiro bellowed at her. "You have stripped her memories I know at least twice!!"
"To protect her, fool and the ones she holds dear to heart!" Sumi retorted. "If I had not Kita would be a shell and all of you still being tortured by the man that holds you captive now!"
Tsukiro growled and looked away from her as he turned and combed his fingers through his hair.
"Tervaden does care for Kita and when he took her back to the room he asked how badly she wanted to see Aizen dead."

In the silence that filled the hut, Ichigo spoke up. “Why are you telling us this? I asked you before, and I will ask you again. Is it worth the trouble to bring Tervaden into this? Isn’t HE why you took the memories Tsukiro is talking about?”
Sumi looked to the Substitute as she sighed softly. "Yes. He is, but not only has Vale had Alister strip her memories of that conversation. He has had him make Kita believe she belongs to him."
Tsukiro spun eyes narrowed to near slits. "So she has went from loving one piece of shit to loving another?"
Kita looked up at him grabbing his hand at his side as she still trembled from all she was hearing. "It's alright." She spoke softly to him.
"As I was saying...Bringing Ichimaru back. Even if I only return his memories of the meeting and his betrayal of Aizen. He would not leave Kita alone. The man has an attraction for her. Memories of their love or not. His heart belongs to her and her heart belongs to him. It was the promise I made to Ichimaru before I sealed their memories."
"And what does that have to do with bringing Ichimaru back?" Nori ask.
"Tervaden hates him, and with him being that close to Kita, Tervaden would be putting Ichimaru out of commission every time the man got around her."
"How would returning some memories change that?" Byakuya asked, joining the conversation at last.
Ichigo blinked. "Are you suggesting that Ichimaru and Tervaden team up?" He looked to Tsukiro. "Those two hate each other more than the Snake and this one. Having a reason for both to hate Aizen wouldn't change that."

Sumi looked to Byakuya first with his question. "I know it has been a long time for you Byakuya, but you're a man so what do you not understand about Ichimaru turns into an horn dog when he is around my vessel?"
She turned from Byakuya as he gave her a stony stare and then glanced down to the floor. Her look went to the Substitute. "No, there will be no union of Tervaden and Ichimaru. Vale does hate Aizen, and his question to Kita about how badly she wanted Aizen dead... Was because he wants her to kill him. He even went as far as to give her the key to Kenpachi's cell to give to Kisuke. However, Kita refused it."
Sumi fell silent for a few seconds as she looked at all the faces in the hut. "Also every zanpakuto that has been collected has a piece of Chinmoku lodged somewhere within it. This is how Tervaden is tracking Kisuke. He knows where he is but has not brought him back in."

Ichigo groaned and rubbed at his blood-caked hair. "What you’re saying is making me want to have Tervaden in this circle less and less. He already broke one woman. He’s slowly doing the same to Kita, despite your protection on her. And Sojiro is in his line of fire, too. Now, you’re saying this same man has a way of spying on any who get their zanpakuto back and bringing in Kisuke as soon as he pleases. And he’s maneuvering Kita around as some kind of queen on a chess board?” He sighed and looked down. “I can tell you from experience. It’s not fun when you realize you’re some pawn in a game and all your struggles are for naught. So why are you suggesting bringing him in?”

"Then your only other choice is Ichimaru." Sumi looked to Kita as she still clung to Tsukiro's hand.
"No!" Tsukiro announced. "I don't want him around Kita. He will only bring more heartache her way!"
"He is the only other one that knows Las Noches better that any of you. He may not have the trust of the man that we are after, but his knowledge of the man and of his kingdom are far better than that of what any of you can offer."

Kita knew Sumi was right. Gin did know Las Noches like the back of his hand, but that would mean recruiting him to their side. Could they do that? Could they turn the Snakes head and bring him to their side once more like Sumi claimed he was once before?
She looked up at Tsukiro then to Ichigo, both seemed to be deep in thought. The Captain's looking intently at her as her gaze moved to Sumi. "Will he join us again." Her head shook. "I know he is not scared to die for a cause he believes in and I know his dislike for Aizen and him trying to kill him back in the Winter war, but can we turn him again?"
She felt Tsukiro's hand tighten on her shoulder as he shook his head. "I can handle Gin. I have for many years." Her head slowly lowered as thoughts of what happen in the control room flashed in her mind. "I admit I have my weak moments with him," her head quickly lifted, "But I know I can keep him in place if need be."

Byakuya lifted his head again. “You’re forgetting one thing, Goddess. If you were the one who took his memories away, and you intend to return some back, just enough to give him a glimpse of a truth lost, he may turn away from us and become even more Sousuke’s creature. The man is driven by the need for his own justice and revenge. He may not react kindly to your interference or your actions towards him and his own.”
Sumi nodded, "That is why I would only return the memories of the meeting and his second betrayal of Aizen." She looked to Kita. "I think with a little persuasion on Kita's part she could bring him back to us."
Kita's eyes widened. "Per...persuasion? On my...my part?"
Sumi looked her way as Tsukiro bellowed. "NO! That bastard will want her on her back twenty-four seven for this!" He felt Kita tug on his hand as he looked down at her a heavy sigh escaping him. He slowly looked back up at the others in the room shaking his head. "What meeting is this your talking about anyway I don't ever remember a meeting with Ichimaru."
"A secret meeting that was held soon after the Soul King delivered his prophecy to Kita," the noble captain murmured. "It involved the shopkeeper, myself, Captain Mutsu, Ukitake, as well as Kita and Gin Ichimaru." He paused. "During which the shopkeeper devised a plan to infiltrate Las Noches in the future, using Kita and Ichimaru. As a unit, they would defect on the next possible opportunity until it came time to fulfill the next prophecy. That of killing Sousuke Aizen."

Sumi nodded, "It was kept at a minimal for fear the Espada Koga would find out about it. One of the reasons why time was and is now stopped."
"So why was the Captain Commander not involved?" Tsukiro questioned. "He is the Commander! If he would have know--"
"Because he was being targeted by Tervaden." Nori spoke up in a authoritative tone, "and with such activity it proved to be a breach in what we were trying so hard not to let get to Aizen."
"The ones involved and the ones Ukitake knew could help the most were brought into this plan. The more that knew. The more danger there was in the plans getting to the enemy."
