Gin chuckled at his son’s enthusiasm. ‘We can do that, Sojiro,” he replied. Soji leaped in the air and started skipping down the road and Gin turned to his son's mother, his lover and light.
Taking Kita’s hand, his crystalline eyes sharped - a warning of his shifting mood. Keeping his son within his eyeshot, he tugged her closer, opposite arm wrapping around her shoulders. She was stiff. Again. Something was wrong with Kita - had been since Aizen’s resurgence - but he had not pressed the matter. He had been gone for so long. But this was too long. Spying Kenji in the shop with his own mother, he chuckled. Before Kita could pull her mind from the dark place that had claimed it, he stole a kiss and slipped his hand into her purse, relieving her of a few dollar bills.
Kita’s eyes narrowed slightly, starting to catch onto his scheme, but he didn’t give her time to speak. Turning to their son, he held up the money. “Sojiro, will you go get your mother and I a banana split but stay with Kenji and Yoruichi for a bit? I need to talk to your mother alone for a few moments."

Sojiro nodded and looked to his mother. His eyes darkened to violet for a moment but he pushed the anger back. His mom was unhappy again. He could feel it. But why? Aizen had been caught. He was fine. So was Dad. He hugged her. “Thank you, Mom, for taking me with you guys.”
Kita smiled warmly and hugged him back. “You’re very welcome, Soji.” She crouched down in front of him. “You know you can get your ice cream and join us. Your father can wait.”
Sojiro shook his head. “Nope, Dad wants you now. I’ll play with Kenji.” He waved the money around. “After I get the ice cream.” He ran inside.

Gin waited for the door to close behind Sojiro before acting. Pulling Kita down into a seat at a table outside, he sat down across from her and tugged the seat nearer. His eyes narrowed. "Something's wrong. Your life has been Sojiro's since I disappeared, but now you're fading away. Far enough that even Sojiro knows." He paused. "Whether it is Aizen or something else, you need to talk. Please. I am here now."
Kita looked down into her lap, even as a part of herself felt more at ease after his words reached for her. But it didn't solve everything. "You didn't have to send Sojiro away," she responded in a low voice "He's missed you too."
Her trick didn't work. Her lover only chuckled. "And I've been spending much of my time with him since awakening, especially since you have started to disappear for a couple hours many days of the week."

Her head shook slightly as she fidgeted with her hands in her lap slowly they clenched tight then would relax then tighten again. "I... I don't know. I don't know what's wrong. I feel trapped. Like I have nowhere to go and if I did... I would be found so what's the use." She looked across the way through the window of the Ice Cream Parlor seeing Sojiro and Kenji talking and laughing as they waited for their orders.
"I thought..." she fell silent as her head dropped and her hands combed through her hair. "I thought if I went to see Aizen this would all end, but it's been a week and still..." she paused again and looked up at Gin. His eyes were narrowed the anger plainly visible on his face.
"How were you able to see Aizen? There was no way Kyoraku allowed that." Gin asked her.
She lowered her head again looking into her lap not answering. Gin's growl and snapping at her causing her to jump.
"Damn it, Kita! Do you realize how reckless that was?" Gin barked at her.
"I had to. I had to do it or the connection he built with me as Gary would have never been severed." She sniffled softly. "I had to..."

“Even if you had to see the bastard again,” Gin hissed, lowering his voice, “why on earth did you have to do it alone?!” He stood up, pushed her back in the chair, and placed both of his hands on the chair behind her, effectively trapping her in his piercing azure gaze. “Are we no longer helping each other? Is that only something that lasts in Las Noches, dearie?!”
Silence fell between them. Then Gin moved a hand to her cheek, tracing her cheekbone. “Dearie, talk to me,” he whispered, tone beseeching. “If anyone knows how deep Aizen can get into someone’s psyche, it’s me. And I didn’t defeat him and then fight for a future to lose you now. So let me help you get through this. Or at the very least, listen to you."

She nodded slowly to him with a weak smile. "I just want these haunting memory to disappear. For a month I have hid it from everyone." She hung her head again. "I am sorry. I did not want to burden you with this. I know you are fighting your own battles."
She leaded forward giving him a soft kiss on the lips as she pulled back she looked into his eyes. "I feel a change trying to take over in me. I know what the change is." Her head shook slightly. "I have seen it too many times with you, and I don't know why. I loathe everything about it, but still I can feel it creeping slowly into my being." A tear trickled down her cheek. "I am afraid to face it. I am afraid if I do it might take over. So I just keep pushing it back." She looked away from Gin's piercing azure eyes. Quietly she started talking to no one in particular.
"Could it be there is too much light in me? Could it be that I am needing a balance like Aizen said? I am only human, but God, Soul or human, we all need a balance in our lives. Maybe...I..." she fell silent hearing her son call out to them that he had their ice cream.

Sojiro came out, carefully carrying a large banana split. Eyes narrowed and frowning in concentration, he set it down and looked up at them. Something was off, but he couldn't figure out what. Daichi poked out his shirt squeaking, and he smiled. He kissed them both on the cheek and ran off again when Yoruichi called. She gave them both a thumbs up and pulled both kids back into the shop.

Gin nodded towards the catwoman and turned back to Kita, taking his seat once again. He dipped a spoon into the ice cream and held it up. “Take a bite and enjoy it. I mean it. I will talk as you eat.” Kita smiled slightly and opened her mouth obediently, humming as the cold treat lay against her tongue. Gin’s eyes grew heated and then calmed. Focusing.
“Kita, Aizen told me that you hate mankind. Is that where this fear is coming from - a reminder of this?” She nodded slowly. He took one of her hands in his and then held up the spoon again, waiting for her to take the bite.
“Kita, those you love, besides one blessed soul, all have darkness inside them. Kisuke, Yoruichi, the brat, Ichigo, and myself. We all have it. The fact that Aizen has made you more aware of yours doesn’t make your heart, your purity, any less bright.”
"You have many around you who will keep you from falling off the deep end, because even if you have darkness, you have other reasons pouring light into you constantly. It’s not a flicker of light in a sea of darkness with your heart.” He kissed her hand as she spilled some chocolate. “It’s a wave of darkness in a field of sunshine, constantly warmed and revitalized.”
He paused, leaning forward to kiss her. “The only way you are going to fall as Aizen wishes, dearie, is if you are taken from me or these friends that hold you so close. You have all the tools to conquer, tame, or shift that darkness into strength. You are not the same as I was."

Kita looked into his beautiful azure eyes thinking about about he said. He was right. A few bumps in the road was nothing. She was stronger than she let herself believe, and with her loved ones and friends at her side, she could overcome anything. Especially with Gin and Sojiro being there for her. They were the true reason she fought and pushed forward like she did. With their love and support, she could weather anything, anyone had thrown at her, even Aizen. A warm genuine smile spread across her face as she leaned closer to him as well. Her hand sneaking past him to the ice cream sitting on the table.
"You know something?" Kita asked him.
Gin tilted his head slightly, looking at her. "What is that?"
Quickly her hand came up between them as she smeared a little line of ice cream across his cheek. "I hate it when you're right." She giggled softly as he tried to draw back only to be caught with her other hand. Kita slowly pulled him back toward her as she kissed his cheek where the line of ice cream was then let her tongue slowly lick it away. When it was cleaned away, she softly kissed a trail to his ear and whispered.
"I am so glad I have you to talk sense into me and keep me grounded."

Gin chuckled as a slow smirk curled up his lips. “Careful, dearie~," he purred. "I am known for making you pay me back for such tasks and you are being very tempting.” He wrapped both arms around her waist and tugged, pulling her down to his lap. “Later, I think I will have to punish you for your disobedience in visiting our enemy without me. I may be forgiving, Kita, but that calls for some special attention.”
Kissing her slowly, he pulled a soft moan from her, reminding her of his position in her life. That he wasn't in another realm or just a dream. But very real. Letting her go, he nipped at her ear. Another soft rebuke. Finally, he nuzzled at her neck and sucked, marking her high up on her creamy skin. She was his and he would not lose her. The teasing kisses also soothed the burn to do even more to her.

Kita smirked pulling slightly back from his teasing lips. "Special you say? It can't be too special if it is punishment." She tipped her head to the side and looked into his eyes. "Unless you plan on giving me a good training lesson, stomping me all over the field."
She grinned slyly, "but let me warn you. I am no push over after eight years of training with some of the best." She leaned close to his ear and whispered to him again. "You might find yourself a little light of a few things, and I won't cry mercy easily."

Gin chuckled and let himself caress her neck with his lips and teeth yet again. “That goes both ways, dearie. Especially since Shinsou is liable to be gentle with you and only take what I want to take from you and nothing too severe.” He sucked at the junction of her neck and collarbone. “Tell me, love,” he breathed against her skin, "what kind of a training session are you most desirous of?”
Kita trembled deeply in his arms but before she could reply, Gin had sat up and pushed her back to her chair, just as Yoruichi and the boys came back out.
“I hear you had a good time,” she stated, tone neutral though her eyes twinkled at having interrupted their moment. “Your son can’t stop talking about the river spirit.”

Kita gave an exhausted sigh after Gin set her back in her own chair. He had her craving his attention and now she was getting none. She looked from him to Yoruichi when she spoke, finishing her comment Kita giggled softly. "Yes we did. At least what I can remember of the movie, it was really good, but all that matters is that Sojiro enjoyed it." She looked their sons way and smiled warmly at him as he ate his ice cream.
Sojiro nodded his little head quickly with an excited look in his eyes. "I did. I really enjoyed the movie, mom. Thank you for taking me."
"You're very welcome sweetie. I am happy you liked it." Kita told him as she leaned forward and kissed his forehead.

Sojiro smiled brightly, nodding once more, but then frowned. He set his ice cream down and placed a hand to her forehead. “Mom, are you getting sick? You’re hot and red.” His eyes widened. “And now, it’s getting worse. Dad, Aunt Yoru, is she-” Tears filled his pale blue eyes until a hand settled on his forehead.
A gentle smile on his face, Gin shook his head at his son, hoping to calm him down. “Your mother is fine, Sojiro,” he reassured him. “She just got hot and needed to take a breath.”
Sojiro nodded, his panic fading. Grabbing his strawberry ice cream, he dipped his spoon into his scoop and held it out to her. “Mom, this will cool you down.”

Kita looked to Gin, her eyes slightly narrowed, but spoke to Sojiro. "Yes. A little hot. It seems it is not as hot as it normally is on some days." She looked to her son and smiled brightly. "Are you enjoying your ice cream, sweetie?" She asked, changing the subject before anyone could elaborate on her condition further.
She looked at Gin from the corner of her eye as she spoke to him in her thoughts. "Good save, but you're not getting out of this that easily. You just wait until later, Mister Man."
